The SPG will be the game changer. GROC managed to add $550 million of NPV based only on their SPG plant. I believe by the time BRES gets to phase 5, its SPG will be ramped up to produce a similar annual tonnage of SPG as GROC's SPG plant. But crucially, I think BRES's capex will be lower.
When you add in the extra NPV that BRES is also going to achieve at its mine (through the improved JORC, the increased tonnage, reduction of risk and improved project economics - such as capex, energy costs, etc), then I am beginning to wonder whether my baseline expectation of $700 million is actually overly (and perhaps even ridiculously) conservative rather than grounded realism.
