Based on previous news releases, we know ECU's tonnage for each month to be as follows:
May = 12,641 tonnes
June = 8,569 tonnes
July = 14,207 tonnes
We also know that the following amounts of precious metals were contained in their dore bars:
May: Au = 614 oz, Ag = 23,354 oz
June: Au = 542 oz, Ag = 14,406 oz
If we estimate July's production based on July tonnage and June grades, then the metal contained in July's dore bars is:
July: Au = 899 oz, Ag = 23,884 oz
(The eventual monthly production we hope for once ECU starts mixing in the roasted pyrite concentrate, running average grade ores and using the secondary leach circut is):
Au = 1692 oz, Ag = 64,198 oz
Using the monthly average London PM fix prices as follows:
May: Au = $928.64, Ag = $14.029
June: Au = $945.67, Ag = $14.654
July: Au = $934.23, Ag = $13.362
And using a 3% refinery fee, we obtain the following PM sales estimates:
May = $870,883
June = $701,948
July = $1,124,240
So we have a July production revenue bar of $1.124 million dollars. This is the minimum we should expect since the mill was shut down for nearly 1/2 of June in order to prepare the mill to process higher grade ores.
