Hi Stevenjd,
Yes, thats exactly the point - the additional mineral deposits doubles the effective gold credit. Analysis will need to be done to see if the processing and recoveries make this credit economically a value add. Nice problem to have though.
Just did the calcs on today's prices and it stacks up again.
VNSR $ Value per tonne ore mined - Gold = $67.69
NSR $ Value per tonne ore mined - Ag + Cu + Zn + Pb = $61
See workings below - hopefully formatting works.
