I just found this recent costing from another miner - it's a tungsten ore with a low strip ratio - just under 1:1 - a similar 1:1 strip ratio seems to apply to the area HUN is currently drilling.

So it's worthwhile to compare -

If you go to page 5 - the mining costs are shown to be around
$8/T... to remove the waste and ore.

The ore is coal of course in HUN's case.

So HUN is probably looking at mining costs of around $10/T maybe less I'm guessing over this area.
