Edgy,

I am 99% sure the numbers would have to be in millions. Although not important your breakdown for the costs centers are a little.

Typically for an Underground Ramp mine the breakdown in costs would be the following

Mining Capital costs would include: All underground mining equipment, Portal Development, Ventilation fans and raises (heaters if required), All underground Electrical Infrastructure Underground Capital development (typically all development in waste required to produce tonnes in the following year), Underground Infrastructure (refuge stations, Shops, escape ways etc), All underground Dewatering and Process water, Backfill infrastructure (although this can be covered by the Processing side) etc. 195 Seams very low in my opinon

Proceessing: Crushing, Grinding, Flotation, Dewatering, Electrical, Process water and Con Storage etc. 113 seams low considering the concentrator is underground.

Site-Infrastructure: Road Access, Landing strip, Housing , Explosives plant, Sewage treatment plant, Effluent treatment plant (although this can be included in the processing) etc.

In-Directs: EPCM (usually 15%-20%), Freight, First Fills, Vendor Reps,etc

Working Capital: Cash on hand for operating costs between end of project phase and sale of con (usually 3-6 months)
