In your reply to renaissance you indicated that we will be generating revenue long before RRS which is really encouraging.
You indicated that the pilot plant will start operation in 2019 producing 200 tons of Solar silicon? Per year.
In the presentation on the website the operating cost when things get started will be $2,310,000 for the year it seems, this after a $510,000 hot commissioning for a total of $$2,820,000, assuming no unexpected problems.
If we manage to produce 200 tons of solar grade silicon during this time, it will have cost about $14,100 per ton according to the numbers from the presentation for the first year I assume ( if we have no unexpected problems).
Can we really count the sales of this as revenue in the spirit of making money?
Were you serious when you indicated we would be generating revenue long before RRS?
Don't we also need to go through the same permitting to dig up our Quartz that RRS has already done?
Or is it different for us because we plan to use it on PUREVAP?
Thanks for taking the time to read these questions.
