well I would rather be in Australia with .25% than Namibia with .11%, my way of thinking is the higher the grade the less dirt has to be moved to get the same amount of product, back to Namibia, they have .11% compared to the DRC where 3% is quite common, so you have to move around 30 times as much dirt to have the same resource size, all this takes money and time, labour, wear and tear on the machinery etc, there the economics you cant argue with, grade is king always has been always will be, all IMO only of course
