Shiner, great to see you back, have missed your posts! Cobalt is changing everything! I have notionally assumed TD52 is 50M tonnes! We know the copper is 0.7% grade, giving a notional 350k tonnes at $5,000 gives operational profits of $ 1.75B. The cobalt grade is 0.08% giving a notional 40k tonnes. Allowing $4k for production and a cobalt price of $51,000 gives operational profits of $1.88B. So if TD52 is anywhere near 50M tonnes the gross operational earnings will be in the region of $3.63 billion dollars! This is only a fraction of the tailings Jubes has accumulated, yes there is a small pay away assuming we now own 80%. But when you look at the amounts involved in just a small proportion of the total tailings, £30M is neither here or there! This is monumental for Jubes. If Jubes could process all this in 20 years that’s equivalent to $181M per year! Please note, this is just a small proportion of Jubes tailings and is based on TD 52 comprising of 50M tonnes( guess). These are game changing numbers!
