Thought it would be an interesting exercise to examine in depth the true value of NTU 52% mixed concentrate and future earnings.

For starters the TREO equivalent quantity is only 52% of the total mix which means 48% of the mix is worthless rubbish. To put this into perspective, total annual mixed carbonate production is expected to be 1,100,000Kg which will contain 573,000Kg TREO equivalent and 527,000Kg rubbish.

42-45% RE carbonate currently selling for US$3.5Kg including VAT. Doubt NTU will be getting much more for their 52% RE carbonate. Being generous, lets call it US$10Kg or A$13Kg
