Postscript:

I just had another thought about that "ore-pass and drift". It's sheer speculation of course !

"Adjacent to the southeast zone the Sustut property also hosts additional resources of 3.95 million tonnes grading 1.25% copper and 8.66 million tonnes grading .73% copper (at a cut-off of .4% copper) ... The feasibility study does not contemplate the mining of these additional resources" (DSR news report of Nov 12)

When once that Ore-pass to the valley floor is made, it could perhaps enhance the viability of these deposits. The 6 million tonnes of the S.E. zone provides a life of about 5-6 years. But perhaps this operation could have a longer life.... thus "subsidizing" the development of Kemess North.

What I am saying is that this could be the "straw" that the perhaps-marginal 5,000,000 ounces of the Kemess North needs to be viable.
