So as I understand, with metal prices being as high as they are now, we can afford to eat the penalty to send the concentrates directly to China with plenty of margin to spare.... saving on the much larger initial CAPEX to have processing to a dore.
This option may be the best way to go given the difficulty to get development funding here in Cuba. Makes it a much simpler and quicker development as well.
In the end I think it will show that with the dore, returns are greater.... but still likely better off taking lower returns without the big CAPEX hurdle to get going. Then who knows, if we find outselves flush with cash after NS gets going, perhaps the dore option is back on the table.
Nice to have a couple of options at least.
