RE: Processing costs at Telfer31 Jan 2020 12:54
I do wonder whether the old rules about operational costs will be torn up over the next year or so as they complete the various feasibility studies. The advances in automation in the mining sector, many of which Newcrest are openly talking about, should lead to efficiency levels never dreamt of before and the mind can be designed now with that in mind, rather than trying to fit in New tech around historic outdated infrastructure. I think this presents Newcrest to showcase the mind of the future on a Greenfield site. What an opportunity to present to the global mining community! If course this all translates into a higher value in the ground!
