AUZ - chart, page-786

Hi Teddy. The figure 400M , no idea where that came from. The figure in PFS that I saw for AUZ, but could not find again was 562M + 20% contingency. That was for the proposed 3000T Co sulphate, 25000T Ni sulphate and 77T Scandium output plant. But as BB has stated they are looking at 3 fold increase output for BFS. This does not mean 3 fold increase in costs, as a lot of design just means upsizing of tanks and clave/claves to accommodate.
The CLQ plant they were saying in their PFS was 673M + 62M contingency for their much bigger original plant, which is also going to be bigger now.
Don't forget in CAPEX the developing of mining areas, building of tails dams and initial purchase of mining equip must also be included. Not just design and building of production plant. Also money must be available for training of staff to run plants and pay wages.
