so what is plv worth?

Just a look at what Cockatoo might be worth to PLV, assuming that Irvine never gets up, but I'm sure it will...Plenty of other assumptions...used goldmans's IO and AUD forcasts, no tax in first couple of years. Plenty of holes in the data. Don't know how to post the excel spreadsheet so others can plug stuff in. 2015 onwards assuming underground starts. With Irvine numbers added it gets really sexy. Anyway, below numbers just for a play.
