anyone worked out costs?, page-17

Hi Outcold

Glad you are now using your fingers instead of your thumbs :)

My first thoughts were also that the ~120,000 tpa was the input capacity of the dryplant and may not necessarily the output of the wetplant

I am trying to reconcile the expected output of the wetplant and its grade on Pg 18

http://www.stocknessmonster.com/news-item?S=CUX&E=ASX&N=626283

with Pg 25

"Expect Wet Plant HMC recoveries of 10kg- 30kg/t of feed with HMC grades of 8-12% TREO; lower grades accompanied by more byproduct heavy minerals such as zircon"



According to the jorc Pg 2

http://www.stocknessmonster.com/news-item?S=CUX&E=ASX&N=589836

Every ton has 289 grams of Reo and 526 grams Zircon = 815 g


If you recover 10kg- 30kg/t of feed with HMC grades of 8-12% TREO;


That means recoveries of

10kg x 8% Treo grade = 800g Treo per t of feed
10kg x 12% Treo grade = 1200g Treo

30Kg x 8% Treo grade = 2400g Treo
30Kg x 12% Treo grade = 3600 g Treo



At best there is <500g Treo per ton x 80% recovery
