what is the cost of mining cordierite?

Your question is way to vague.  There are so many variables to consider that there is no way to answer your question.  \n\nWhat kind of deposite is it?  Is it near surface or very deep?   What kind of other minerals are there?  What kind of permiting is required.  Is it an enviromentaly sensitive area, or in existing workings?  What kind of impurities are involved?  \n\nA feasability study is your first step.

None and you are better of for it. can you imagine what it would cost if the government had their greedy little hands into the reefer jar.

Good luck, considering that this week, gold is selling for almost $700 an ounce.  You'll probably be able to get 1/2 of a flake for $5.00

Current price of gold is $19.49/gram.\n\nSo you can multiply it out to find that the price of 1736 grams of gold is approximately $33,835.

Its quite simple actually, and won't make me or anyone else who can figure it out a millionaire anytime soon, contrary to other answers. \n\nCm = CA-F * T/A-F\n\nCoal mass= (acre feet of coal) x (tons per acre foot)\n\nYou have 200 * 10, or 2000 acre feet. A resonable number to approximate tons per acre feet is 1800 T/A-F. I got this number from a EIA study of Illinois coal, which is of similar age and grade to Indiana coal. Here is that source:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/reserves/chapter2.html\n\nYou should have about 3,600,000 tons of coal. Total market value for Illinois basin coal with 11,800 Btu/ton and 5% SO2 has recently (March 2006) ranged \n$34.50 to $43.00 per short ton. Using $40 your coal has a gross value of about $144 million dollars. Net value will be considerably less since the cost of mining the coal is considerable and will vary according to regulatory compliance, thickness of overburden, and other market factors. It is also sometimes possible for a coal vein to not be laterally continuous or to vary in thickness. Some appraisal boreholes may have to be drilled to determine this. With that information an isochore map can be made and a more accurate appraisal can be done. \n\nThere is a good report from Purdue on Indiana coal at (pdf file):\nhttps://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/Research/PEMRG/CCTR/CoalReport-2006-3-14-06-Final.pdf\n\nHere are the current spot value quotes for coal:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/page/coalnews/coalmar.html#spot

Good question? I think it comes from platinum. A bar of pure platinum would be really expensive.

In 1998 it was about US$ 43 per pound ($95 per kg).[1] Chile is currently the leading lithium metal producer in the world, with Argentina next. Both countries recover the lithium from brine pools. In the United States lithium is similarly recovered from brine pools in Nevada.[2]\nPrices of lithium carbonate rose by 20% in 2005 and growth of up to 25% is forecast by Roskill Consulting Group for 2006, bringing prices back to the peak levels seen prior to SQM's entry into the market in 1996. New capacity due on-stream in Chile, Argentina and China is forecast to alleviate the upward pressure on prices after 2007.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium for more info

The main industrial use for both these metals is in catalytic converters.  They are almost always one expensive, one not so much.  This is because the automotive industry will take one and use it for a while, until the price difference becomes great enough for them to change back to the other metal.  Currently, they're using Platinum, which is why it is more expenisve.  Prior to this, they were using Palladium.\n\nAs of today (April 14th), Palladium is $344.10/oz; and Platinum is 1071.00/oz\n\nFor a brief overview of the market (and Pd spot prices), check out the link below to the mine I worked at two summers ago.

The store keepers in the silver mine in Potosi, Bolivia sell dynamite for $2 a stick.\nThat seems to keep the miners happy.

Maybe it's a 70-year project.\n\nI used to work in the coal industry.  We routinely calculated economics of coal mines for 50 years and more.  It would take that long to mine all the coal, and we had to know if it was going to be profitable for the whole time period.

depends where the area is. they may not even let you mine the area if the coal contains large amounts of sulfer or other impurities since pollution laws are stricter nowadays. i think the better option would be to just sell it to a mining company unless you want to start your own mine, i dont know how you would go about doing that.

Fred,\nCheck out this website. I live in rural Nevada where over half the United States gold is mined so I use this site quite a bit.  Here's the link\nhttp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mapdata/
