Re: Dollar down below 88 cents

in response to golfyeti's message

okay here it is. Fuel consumption during the build is estimated at about 25 million litres per year, which is $27 million per year during the build. The FS uses $1.08 per litre and cites Suncor as the source (no surprise). Once producing, the 130 TPD mine will consume 94 million litres per year, i.e. $101 million per year. Fule cost represents 43% of total operating costs...WOW!

The average annual operating cost for the full process rate of 130,000 t/d is estimated to be $231 million per year,

The estimated Schaft Creek mine fuel quantities scheduled for the first five years of operations are shown in Table 21.13.
