Copper US$6409 becomes $8163 in Aussie.
Lead US$2119 becomes $2699 in Aussie.
Zinc US$2343 becomes $2984 in Aussie.
Tin US$16,050 becomes $29,443 in Aussie.
From the last quarterly report, it had as averages:
Copper at US$5796 so in U.S. Dollars the difference is $613 (+10%).
Lead at US$1751 so in U.S. Dollars the difference is up $368 (+21%).
Zinc at US$2049 so in U.S. Dollars the difference is up $294 (+14%).
I'll try to check what assumptions JB is making with the exchange rate and prices for this next quarterly. I was told once that it is the spot price and my figures are for the 3-month price, but my revenue was out from what is expected. I get $68 million revenue for the year using $17 million for the quarter, but if you use the production figures and 3-month prices converted to Aussie dollars, it's well over $100 million and climbing.
Either way, I'm happy now that we are actually making money.
