Phase 1 Mine Plan Example17 Jun 2020 08:01
Phase I – Years 1 through 3 (Main Zone):
• 906,000-ton open pit
• 40,000-ton WRSA
• Two growth media stockpiles
• One Administration area including a mobile crushing facility, a contractor area, and a
Stockpile
• Haul roads
The plan here is to develop the site for phase 2, using revenues to pay the costs of infrastructure, well, pipelines, powerlines, roads etc. Total cost of 2-3 Million $US, split production to year 3 50% (450 K tons), year 2 30% (300 K tons), year 1 150K tons, and with assumed $5/ton net income from $75/ton sales gives $750K, so profits will not be quick, year 2 net income $1.5M with infrastructure improving with further investment, year 3 in profit about $2.5 M. Expected MCAP of around $25M
Personally I would sell to a major concrete manufacturer as previously suggested.
