    All,
    I put MCO at AUD -260k per qtr based on their numbers.
    A sanity check on my calcs below would be appreciated. I know, assumptions are crucial when doing these sort of what-if's, feedback is welcome.

    *From trial mining report (June 10, 2008)
    LRIP: 50t/day
    Prod'n costs: AUD240/tonne
    Grade est: 12g/tonne

    *From 31 March cash flow report:
    Explor'n costs: AUD 573k per qtr
    Admin costs: AUD 164k per qtr

    *Assumed average gold price = AUD900

    *Cash flow/qtr = Sales - Expenses = AUD -260k

    *Sales = 90days*50t/day * 12g/tonne*AUD900/oz / 31.1g/oz
    = AUD 1.56M

    *Expenses = Prod'n costs + Explor'n costs + Admin costs
    = (90days * AUD 240/tonne * 50tonne/day)
    + AUD 573k + AUD 164k
    = AUD 1.08M + AUD 573k + AUD 164k
    = AUD 1.82M
