I used more conservative figures than Slug. I massaged the model a little more to arrive at e's
production number of around 250,000ozs/y steady-state with 0.43 ozs/tonnee grade. This amounts to a production cost of ~$250/oz.
$120/tonne cost (due to contract miners?).
$22.5/oz smelter rate
325 days/year operation
$750 gold
96% recovery rate
2008 - ~35,000 ozs
2009 - ~62,000 ozs
2010 - ~113,000 ozs
2011 - ~165,000 ozs
Thereafter steady state at ~250,000 ozs/y.
