Kiwi, I think there is a misunderstanding on what I am asking. In your post no. 9684708, the most scary thing is the expenditures you mention here.

`There are a number of economic concerns.
Firstly is the cost. Even if they start with a simple open cut operation. The table on costs on pg 30 puts the mining surface infrastructure alone at $352m.
Power supply alone is listed at $166m
site development $12m.
Discard and slurry $53m etc.

And that's not even the mine which is listed at $714m.'

I believe these numbers are in Rands and if that is true, then the figures as written are about 10 times the actual figure. See if this makes any sense.
