Better yet why don't you added up the cost from the financial statements and divide that expense by the production. Yes that will not include the full production rate thats expected. But the facts are always in the numbers. Then when next quarters results are out you can compare those results apples to apples. See how much the actual cost is actually coming down by.
No misquoting, no misinterpretations just the cold hard facts.
More important than the actual cost of production however is the profitability. It is the cash in the bank after all expenses and capital requirements are met that count. It will be the profits and cash flow that will pay off the debt, the preferred shares and all the accrued interest owing. Then the 49% minority shareholders can rest easy.
PS - Blue, hang on to that article. Theres a comment about Hart operating by mid-2010. I guess thats up to interpretation too. I believe the MD&A said differently.
