An estimated profit of $686 per ton will yleld a daily profit (250 tons basis) of $1,715.00 which in a year of only 300 working day: would mean $514,500.00. Half a million a year! With every prospect of increase in the quantity and quality ‘of the ore. And this does not take into consideration the fre- quent oceurrence of pay-streaks where Jualin ore has already yielded $120 to 1,040 per single ton! This is worthy of your investigation.
