For those wavering
From some of my previous posts if you've been following them I pointed out that SE crescent to the west of the Dyke had increased in size from previous results at the top.
This high grade section is very close to the Decline design position, it's the obvious place to remove the sample ore for Telfer to adjust there process train/trains.
What does this mean well from discussions the top 20-30m of this zone will be targeted.
The volume of this is roughly 150x50x30=225,000 cubic metres
Hannams first note used 3.4 specific gravity
225,000x3.4=765,000 ton
Hannams average grade in HGZ =3.8g/t
765,000x3.8 divided by 31.1= 93,472 oz
Plus copper @0.6% = 4,590 t
Allowing for costs say $1,000 per oz revenue
93,472x1,000 =$93,472,000
Copper price c $9,000 x 4,590t =$41,310,000
=$134,782,000 possible revenues from the sample tonnage.
Total costs forecasted $1.5bn
SLC operations about 1/4 way down so say around $350m $134m revenues =$216m outstanding
Ggp 30% of shortfall =$64.8m
Conclusion Ggp will need to find after the Feasibility Study around $65m to fund their share of the SLC mining.
From one other posts on revenues from SLC I've worked out revenues from the SLC will be $229m per year for Ggps 30% at 6m tons
An attractive short term loan looks very likely
$65m costs for $229m per annum for 9 years from 2024
