    Can someone reference a website that might have good rules of thumbs to follow in evaluating the economics of a mining project? I am not looking for fine level detail. I am looking for rules that will let me quickly discard projects that obviously have bad economics.

    As a general rule of thumb, how quickly do you want the EBITDA from a commodity production to pay back the upfront capex? Three years?
