If this project can process dirt through a mill at 0.2% Moly (even if its only in the first few years, the numbers are ballistic in size).
I've assumed $20lb Moly market price. Moly is currently about $30lb).
Once the stockbroking mining analysts go over this, I would dare say they will give their dealers are pretty favourable outlook.
The following costings are based on those used in a recent feasibility report published by Ruby Creek in Canada except I have been more conservative than them by increasing capex by $200M to $500M.
This is a modest size set up. Moly Metals is much bigger.
