wenn von Explorern überhaupt etwas an substanzvolleren Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt wird ,sind es meist NI 43-101- konforme Berichte.Eine Machbarkeitsstudie ist jedoch von einer besseren Qualität ,ermöglicht eine genaue Einschätzung der Situation und eben der tatsächlichen Durchführbarkeit unter wirtschaftlichen Aspekten.Letztendlich ein Qualitätsnachweis für den Explorers.
Auszug aus: feasibility study for the Fäboliden gold project
"Key features for Fäboliden Gold project:
Measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated to approx. 60 Mt and contained Au at 2.4 M.tr.oz, corresponding to proven and probable reserves of 1.94 M.tr.oz. In addition there are inferred resources amounting to approx. 10 Mt (not included in this evaluation).
Average Au grade after dilution in the open pit: 1.2 g/t.
Average Au grade after dilution for the underground production: 1.07 g/t.
Cash cost open pit, dollar/oz: 385
Cash cost underground, dollar/oz: 485
Mining and processing are scheduled to start 2011.
Annual processing capacity: 4.6 Mt.
Accumulated cash flow is estimated to approx. SEK 3,500 million (excluding interest costs) after 100% of the investment is paid off.
Pay-off time: 4 years.
Capital Expenditure (Capex) is estimated to SEK 1,770 million for the open pit and SEK 280 million for the underground mine."

Lappland Goldminers presents a feasibility study for the Fäboliden gold project
"Conclusions:
Summary for alternatives at current prices of February 1, 2008,
and conservatively estimated grades:
Measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated to
approx. 60 Mt and contained Au at 2.4 M.tr.oz, corresponding
to proven and probable reserves of 1.94 M.tr.oz. In addition
there are inferred resources amounting to approx. 10 Mt (not
included in this evaluation).
Average Au grade after dilution in the open pit: 1.2 g/t.
Average Au grade after dilution for the underground
production: 1.07 g/t.
Cash cost open pit, USD/oz: 385 / [428]
Cash cost underground, USD/oz: 485 / (539)
Planned start of operation 2011
Production 4.6 million tons of ore per year
Pay-back time 4 years. The value of accumulated cash flow,"
