Yes, as the price of Gold goes up it does allow Chris to lower the cut off grade and increase the total ounces. However, the Gold Price used in the equation is a 2 yr rolling average. So spikes in the price of Gold will help, but not as much as one would think. Now if Gold goes over $2,000 (IMHO this year) then it will certainly support a higher buyout price when we hit 3M ounces at the of this year hopefully.
It may be a mute point if lighting strikes at Kidd Creek. Drilling should start very soon.
