Guesstimate of total net of loan value of pollucite ore based on first shipment and first proceeds

1600 ton for 1.2 mil or $750 per ton

750*19,500ish ton=14,625,000

14,625,000-4,800,000 approx $9,825,000 net USD

14,000,000 AUD
Total revenue approx AUS$20 million (1600t for US$1.2million = US$750/t * 19,500t /0.7274 (exchange rate) approx AUS$20 million)
less costs $6.3 million ($3.7 million in Dec quarterly and $2.6 estimated in March quarterly) (ex some staff costs)
less state royalty = 10% of the sales price = $2 million (DSO Ore attracts a 10% state royalty)
less Traditional owner royalties ???
Total profit from this operation will be around $10-$11 million

This is a great result and the company and management (and the worker bees) need to be congratulated.

BUT actual returns to the company excludes the cost of discovery and evaluation...say $4 million

Actual profit in my view will be $6 - $8 million

It should at least stop any share placements for a couple of years and hopefully the can discover a true company making deposit in that time.

If they can sell the feldspar then that may add a small annual dividend but it I would not expect it to be huge say $30/t (profit) x 100000 t = $3 million...so less pressure on ongoing share placements.

Cheers

The discovery and evaluation cost are sunk and will not reduce the net dollars. Accounting profit will be different.

Royalty and payments to landholders I agree will reduce the cash.
