A lot of numbers flying around today. With gold @ $1,600.00 their break even point is .219 ounces per yard, @ .30 they recover 239 ounces with a net profit of $99,451, @ .35 they recover 269 ounces with a net profit of $161,026, @ .40 they recover 308 ounces with a net profit of $222,601. Those are monthly figures based on 95% of production capacity.
The Blacfire deal gave them an infusion of $382,500.00 to finance the startup, so there was no need for dilution or creative financing. The .2 grams floating around the last couple of days is from 2007 when they shut down and the mudflow they processed in July of this year. If the recovery rate was that low, they'd have closed up shop already. Anything above .3 grams per yard is profitable.
