RE: AISC Calculation of $550 based on NSR24 Jan 2021 21:11
@ petejh - I am not missing the point. A question you need to ask yourself is whether this point you are making is actually valid or not? I personally don't think it is.
From my understanding, the NSR takes account revenue factors, metallurgical recovery assumptions, transport costs and refining charges and royalty.
Now, read that link I sent and then look at what constitutes to 'AISC'. If you look at table 2 on the link I provided on page 13, the above appears to cover sections stated 'operating costs'. It doesn't cover the section stated AISC which includes the following:
Corporate General & Administrative costs
Reclamation & remediation
Exploration & study costs
Capital exploration
Capitalised stripping & underground mine development
Capital expenditure.
It's probably best to wait until the feasibility study is produced before suggesting numbers.
