Some decent points Gray although I disagree that the LWP will be largely sulphides, I think it will be the opposite, largely oxides. It's unlikely that they would have been finding sulphides in the near surface.
If Molefe does turn out to be a significant resource with a 10 year + mine life then that should be a significant driver of value. I tend to keep an eye on the satellite images of the site and although they are low resolution images I can see that within the last couple of months they have been excavating a new area between the original pit and pit 2 which is currently being worked. This aligns with Leons messaging that they are potentially looking to expand some of the pits into one superpit. It also explains the expected step up to 8,500 tpm in the New Year.
Cost per tonne of copper is key to how profitable the business will be. As the production steps up the fixed cost dilution should bring costs down significantly so I await the next set of results with interest. With oxides making up the majority of current production, the revenue / tonne should be much higher than last year. I guesstimate revenue for H1 of more than US$9,500 / tonne and if copper prices remain where they are currently we should see well over US$10,000 / tonne in H2
