Oxide NSR Open Pit Cut-Off Calculation USD<br />

Process Cost (10,000 tpd) 19.00 USD/ton<br />

General and Administration 2.50 USD/ton<br />

Extra Out of Pit Haulage<br />

1.60 USD/ton<br />

Operating costs per ore ton = (19.00 USD +2.50 USD +1.60 USD) = 23.10 USD/ton<br />

2.50 USD/ton processed<br />

Extra Out of Pit Haulage<br />

1.60 USD/ton processed<br />

Operating costs per ore ton = (9.10 USD +2.50 USD +1.60 USD) = 13.20 USD/ton<br />

processed<br />

Underground Mining<br />

42.50 USD/ton mined<br />

Operating costs per ore ton = (12.00 USD +2.50 USD +1.00 USD+ 42.50 USD) =<br />

58.00 USD/ton processed<br />

Pit Optimization Parameters<br />

The <strong>Pulacayo</strong> resource model was further investigated with a Whittle pit optimizations to<br />

ensure a reasonable stripping ratio was applied and a reasonable assumption of potential<br />

economic extraction could be made (See Figure 14.19 below). The following parameters<br />

were utilized in the pit optimizations:<br />
