Production requirements6 Dec 2019 07:51
I posted this a while ago and think that the figures are pretty close to what we require:-
The derampers and trolls state that the company needs 700k per month, I have checked and to be fair I think that figure is pretty close.
So, how much do we need to produce in order to cover those outgoings ? Well by my calculations if we produce 50 tons per month and sell 80% of that to our two off takers that’s 40 tons per month, at 1000kg per ton that’s 40,000kg which given that an MTU is 10kg gives us 4,000 MTU per month, the current APT price is $225 - $245 per MTU, and I believe we receive 80% of the APT price, so, if we presume a $225 price 80% of that is $180 per MTU, which X by 4000 gives us an income from sales of $720,000 per month, which covers all of our outgoings.
Of course on top of this we are producing tin, so it seems to me that at 50 tons we will make a small profit.
Of course WRES at full production, for la Parilla alone, is set to be 200 tons a month which is 4 X the amount I have used above.
