"High inflation in WA mining and severe labor shortages".
Yep

"Projects that need to feed large volumes of low-grade ore into huge mills will be hit the hardest".

Oversimplification and incorrect.
So many more variables come into play.
Strip Ratio's, processing costs (gas or diesel), mining cost per ton (hard/soft rock, depth, access points, size of deposit, recovery rates, capex requirements, haulage distances, proximity to infrastructure, proximity to other deposits etc.

RMS don't have overly large processing plants to feed, or even uneconomically low-grade ore sources.
Their UG feed is above average grade.
Their OP feed is above average grade.

"Lower POG, modelling RMS profits at a sub A$2,000 oz POG should be a warning for holders"

What are you crapping on about?

"AISC margins deminishing.".

Every producer in the WORLD has had these issues.

"Zep has not handled acquisitions well imo with the exception of Penny and that has a small reserve with a life of mine under 3 years".

Absolute horse shit! Before Rebecca (not a fan of his timing on that one) MZ has outperformed many of his peers in the M&A department.

Agree that there are many factors such as strip ratio but grade is still king
RMS
Measured 1.6 g/t
Indicated 1.5 g/t

As the AISC margin declines the RMS SP has become very sensitive to the POG
