Comments on other economic factors

  • PRODUCTION AT THE MILL IS LABOR INTENSIVE. CRUSHING IS DOUBLE-JACK/BOILERPLATE WITH WOVEN BASKETS TO HAND-CARRY ORE INTO THE MILL. FLOTATION PRODUCTS ARE MOVED BY HAND IN TROUGHS AND FINAL-PRODUCT DRYING IS ON OPEN-AIR PADS.
  • PRODUCTION AT THE MINE IS LABOR INTENSIVE. ALL MINING IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH PICKS AND SHOVELS, WITH THE ORE CARRIED OUT OF THE PIT IN WOVEN BASKETS TO THE TRUCKS FOR THE MILL HAUL OF 64 KILOMETERS.
  • THE MINE OP COST INCLUDES $8.73/MT-ORE CONTRACT TRUCKING COST TO THE MILL.
  • THE ACTUAL RAIL RATE IS $0.0435/MT-KM.
