The beauty of a board like this is that everyone "has their own opinions" about many things and can choose to express them here. (Hopefully without being insulted by the reader). Lots of times we disagree with each others perspectives and that's healthy. I see no problem with any projections being put forward. I rather enjoy reading all of them.

"A dose of reality" will come when you decide to sell your shares, you will realize the gains from the price you sold at. Unless you have insider trading knowledge you don't know what total tonnage is in the ground, what % it can be processed to and at what cost. Therefore any numbers put forward whether you believe it to be from your DD or someone else's is still a projection. Some project high, some low. That is the beauty of this board, take it all in, do your own DD and dream whatever number you choose. In the end reality is based on the numbers the company puts out.
