CLA's Scoping Study forecast and comparison among the industry peers from laterite to sulphide, page-6

A lot of Nzuri's costs are due to transportation (limited infrastructure in DRC obviously and that PFS didn't have processing into sulphate onsite).

If our opex was anywhere near 40 US$/t that would be unreal, id expect it to be a lot higher personally.

According to Kaiser, our 'rock value' is about $150 p/t considering cobalt, copper and zinc. Im hoping for sub $80 p/t costs, anything more and I'm out.

Im expecting mining costs of $15 best case - $30 p/t. Processing I am still not sure but nice to see Mt.Thirsty was $30 p/t. I could deal with that or less not being laterite.

Like the initial JORC, hopefully the SS can exceed expectations. BB doesn't strike me as someone to talk a big game and not deliver. Id consider saying production in 2020 to be a big game and he would have a pretty good idea of what the scoping study looks like so far.
