When the company opens the mine, it will sign a contract guaranteeing the price of gold for the remaining life of the mine.
If the mine is opened today, each ounce of gold will generate an after tax cash flow of $1400/ounce.
If the company waits one year, there is a 60% chance of the after tax cash flow being $1600/ounce, and a 40% chance of being $1300
What is the value to wait?
