Hi XYNZ, oops, very poor maths on my part

I can only offer the figure of 0.5g/tonne being a cutoff point for recovered gold in general, when the plant is right next to the mine. So transport costs could well be significant, no idea what they are per tonne transported? 20 tonne of Reefton ore would only hold say 60g or under 2oz gold, so two? extra handling costs and the transport fee itself would add up.

We need a mining expert on this query.
