Post# of 102667
With todays news I have revised my estimates going forward. I have made the assumption the secondary 120 TPD mill will be brought back on to handle the Gold Bug mine. Using the 330 TPD estimates on the Benton mine and assuming the mine operates only 10 months per year I come up with a range of earnings based on .25 - .50 gradings of $7.35M - $14.7M. The Gold Bug mine comes out with another $2.7 - $5.4M in earnings potential. Total once both are operating roughly $10-$20M in earnings/year. Here are my estimates. Let me know if anyone finds an error.

Background: Company used a previous Shell to reverse merge to take over the Benton and Gold Bug mine in Oregon. The company has spent over $9M to build a processing mill and prepare the Benton mine for production. After the Benton mine is in full production the Gold Bug mine will be started up. With the only permitted processing mill in Oregon there are numerous acquisition targets within several miles that can be procured to add to production and reserves in the future.

Assumption mining costs aprox. $300/oz, mine in production 300 days/year
Revenue Estimates based on Grading estimates @ 330 tons/day
Grading @.25oz/ton = 82 oz/day x 300 days/year = $14,700,000/year @$600/oz
Earnings estimate approx. $300/oz = $7,350,000/year

Grading @.50oz/ton = 164 oz/day x 300 days/year = $29,400,000/year @$600/oz
