expensive producton cost at 25000 per ton

If you look at the pre feasibility study dated 14/5/2007
you will notice the high cost associated with this project.

Capital cost per pound is $11.43 us dollars
and the operational cost is $2.49 us dollars
These cost are massive $14 cost per pound for the life of the operation, that is far more than sulfide mines which the cost are around $3.5o per pound.

That mean $25,278 cost to operate this mine, this is massive, only leaving $1000 per ton profit at todays nickel price and nickel prices are expected to drop.
Dont sneeze!
