240 tons of rock will yield about nine ounces of gold.  The extraction average at Batu Hijau is .03 ounces of gold and .06 ounces of copper for every ton of rock that gets processed.  Islamic women listen to the country music that is piped into the cabs of the trucks and I also heard a one hour show of christian gospel music.  The company says they want loud music in the cabs to keep them awake.
