cb25 the grade as announced by rau is, correct me if i'm wrong..1.23ppm/26MT to achieve the 100koz/yr output you suggest you would need to 'up' the grade to 1.6ppm, at the throughput inferred (100koz at the reported grade). rau have stated 1.23ppm. To achieve 1.6ppm, you would need more tonnes per year... that's a significant difference, is it not? (or is the grade higher than rau have said?) are you suggesting 71M capex? is this US$ or AU$, or something else? take your time and give us a realistic estimate, for all factors, based on a realistic mine life. all the factors at the head of the post need to be addressed, and any i may have left out.... I know some reserves are quoted as "higher grade", but the overall tonnes are minimal compared to the whole resource..
there are some other 'pertinent' factors, which you are yet to address, aren't there. give us some more specific numbers, if it's not too much to ask...
