Placer cost

Big  item is  fuel then  labor which is   a  front loader driver , a  truck driver  another  front loader to screen  hopper and  2  guys max watching  wash process.  Same   drivers  can haul away the  waste in  same  truck after  pile  is  built to sustain  production. When shift  week’s  up Momo and  another   worker  unload the black sand  drawers to recover across  riffles. BIg  stuff  is  picked  out and  black   sand is  spun for  fine  gold and  into the  sack.  Goes  to buyer  for  often same  day cash then settled  up by refinery  value.  Has always said   1 oz pays  for  as  much placer  as  they can run AND the  daily  expenses  of present low  ops  status.  Under  $300 oz  cost  if  4  oz output. Do more?  costs less.  8
