Comments on other economic factors

  • DESIGN CAPACITY IS ACTUALLY DAILY PRODUCTION
  • ACQUISITION COSTS & WORKING CAPITAL DO NOT EXIST IN A COMMUNIST SOCIETY. EXPLORATION DRILLING BY A SEPARATE GOVERNMENT ENTITY IS NOT CHARGED TO THE OPERATION, BUT PAID FOR BY BUDGETARY APPROPRIATION.
  • STATE OWNERSHIP OF LAND AND LACK OF OTHER NEARBY DEVELOPMENT LEAVES AREA OF MINE & MILL OPERATION ESSENTIALLY LIMITLESS.
