Freeman Gold Lemhi Project PEA: The $3,000 Gold Reality
The last few days aside, the massive rise in the price of gold this year has got a lot of investors and management teams in the precious metals sector breathing heavily.
Quite frankly, across the sector one of the most common phrases is “we have a PEA.. or pre-feasibility or whatever .. BUT it was done at $1,750 or $1,900 gold”. With gold above the $3,000 an ounce mark, these comments are basically a means of inferring that based on that dated study, they should be making money hand over fist at the current gold price.
Logically speaking, it checks out. But the part that is frequently left out, is the fact that we have seen massive amounts of inflation over the last few years, CPI be damned. And well, as many in the industry are aware, rising metal prices often means contractor prices are rising just as quickly.
