bigbillbrown must have me on ignore.

If not then, YES bigbillbrown, we hear you! We heard you the first time when you queried the OPEX earlier this afternoon. All valid discussion, but no need to repeat yourself.

But anyways, you mention that the rise in OPEX is substantial as if the costs will be 30% higher or something. The reported inflation figure in RSA is 4.2%. Inflation, with anything, will always have an impact, but its not as outlandish as you are making it out to be.

CCC are not alone in this aspect. Look at the feasibility studies for, say, AOH who are about to start mining copper in the next few months. They're figures are going to be slightly outdated as well due to inflation. I don't see you going on to their forum and telling them that.
