summary of the overall operating cost is presented in Table 1.6. The cost distribution isillustrated in Figure 1.5.Table 1.6Overall Operating CostAreaPersonnelUnit Operating Cost($/t milled)Mining * 316 ** 93.18Processing 95 18.16Material Re-handling *** Contract 0.07G&A 43 25.47Surface Services 78 16.53Backfilling 6 2.10Water Treatment 4 0.95Total 542 156.46Notes:*Average LOM mining cost including crushing cost and cement cost for backfill; if excluding the oremined during preproduction, the estimated unit cost is $94.40/t**316 workers during Year 1 to 14 and then reduce to 167 workers at the end of the mine life.***Material re-handling cost is the LOM average cost, which will occur in Year 1 only. The operationis assumed to be contracted with approximately eight workers required.Figure 1.5Overall Operating Cost DistributionPretium Resources Inc. 1-18 1291990200-REP-R0012-02Feasibility Study and Technical Report on the BrucejackProject, Stewart, BC
