rhetorical question mal, I get it, but what the heck here are some random numbers... mine round the clock, plant operates day shift only. 60% utilisation out of 12hr shift. 10g/t = $20M gross. crew of 50 @ $200K each = $10M leaving $10M for other costs to break even.
some on here banging on about how it's impossible to achieve a profit are super salty!
