PROJECT ELEPHANT
What we do know based on figures from Jubilee.
115,000,000 of tailings broken down into 0.3 % copper and 0.05% cobalt ( as per report).
Therefore:
Copper
115,000,000 x 0.3% = 345 000 tons of copper.
345 000 / 12 000 per annum = 28.75 years worth.
Cobalt
115,000,000 x 0.05% = 57 500 tons of Cobalt.
As we now know the life span (worked out above) we can divide this into the total Cobalt.
Therefore 57 500 ÷ 28.75 years = 2000 tons of cobalt per annum.
So for Cobalt for project Elephant we should receive revenue of 2000 tons x $52 000 (current price) = $104 000 000 dollars per year for cobalt alone.
