What? A 5-ton truck? Did you mean 50?

Ore haulers move 40-400 tons, meaning, by your numbers, $32,000 to $320,000 per load, not $4,000.

But we very probably will not average close to 22 percent copper. If the initial few years can get 2 percent, that's more than any open pit mine operating in Arizona today. Even the deep, rich underground ores at Superior can't quite get to 1.5 percent copper.

Two percent at and near surface, and in volume, would be a copper mining game changer, the North American mining story of the past few decades, but we are a very long way from knowing.

But, if we get the same grades as Rosemont, that's less that $800 per small load, and less than $8,000 for a large one. However, if the ores are closer to the surface, costs at Hay Mountain may be lower.
