I followed up with this :-
Just to clarify:-
75 tons of tungsten metal (7500 mtu) a month at a current APT price of $260 per mtu. = $1,950,000 x 80% as per off take agreements = $1,560,000
Plus
20 tons of tin per month at let’s say conservatively $12,500 = $250,000
That would give us revenue of $1,810,000 per month - which as I said will I am sure cover our operating costs including interest of circa $550,000, in fact if we take off the $550,000 from the $1,810,000 we would have $1,260,000 per month to cover our OPEX, which was stated to be on average $110 per mtu, but if we assume that it’s higher than the average at the moment at let’s say $150 per mtu then our 7500 mtu would have an OPEX of $1,125,000, which taken from the $1,260,000 would leave us with $135,000 per month over and above our costs.
Obviously this is all based upon achieving only 50% of our full production and is therefore very conservative, but I do think that it is probably about where we are now whilst operating on a 5 day working week.
