Obviously difffcult to compare because we produce to many products from the same process but here are my quick calcs.
tldr: imo bang in the middle.
From the PFS we have OPEX as
Area
Cost
1 Ore Supply and logistics
46.1
million A$/a
2 Ore processing plant
86.6
million A$/a
3 Sulphate refinery
12.6
million A$/a
4 HPA refinery
18
million A$/a
Now let’s scale up for DFS assuming that the ore supply scales with volume but the subsequent processing say scales by 75%. This gives us:
Area
Cost
1 Ore Supply and logistics
122.2
million A$/a
2 Ore processing plant
172.2
million A$/a
3 Sulphate refinery
25.1
million A$/a
4 HPA refinery
18
million A$/a(HPA refinery no expected to be scaled)
With the scaled up plant we produce:
-15700tpa contained Ni
-1700tpa contained Co
-Other valuable by products.
1.Let’s start by ignoring everything except the Ni.
-1000x 15700 / 0.45 = 34.6 million lb
-Cost of $320 million
This gives us A$9.2 / lb = U$6.8 / lb
2.Now let’s consider that Ni sulphate likely to have approx. 25% premium. Given we are talking cost base let’s consider that we produce 25% more instead or it being more valuable.
This gives us A$6.9 / lb = U$5.1 /lb
This puts us up at the upper end, but remember that the Ni only accounts for about 50% of our revenue. Scaling point 1 by 50% gives us U$3.4 / lb placing us towards the middle of the chart.
