$2+ cost difference is significant if you are dealing in 100's of millions you don't need to be a jumbuc to work that one out, the trucking costs would add a bit but you have to mill it somewhere and it would make sense to avoid massive outlay until project is up and running profitably.
So at current spot price the project should be a winner, good luck with the PFS and permits. Will be one to watch over the coming years.
