Asterisk,

If we really want to be pedantic we could say that we actually got our mine for free as the $600 fee is just that, a paperwork fee payable to the govt.

One more thing which I forgot to mention in my previous post.

The depth that we will be mining at is between 500m - 600m and not 800m - 900m.
Big difference.

Wazbee,

Thanks for your kind comments.

You also say that your in-laws are melting in Europe.

My question is:
How much do you like your in-laws? LOL
