Hi William, the deposit as I understand it is high grade and the volume they intend to mine is not that high (100-200 tonnes per day). As they will be minimg underground, and using a floatation mill and vat leaching process, I would expect the process not to be hard on the environment. Typically, the cyanide leaching process causes problems when done on a grand scale, which makes controling it harder. Again, environmental concerns are greatest with large volume open pit operations that utilize the leaching process. In most mines of this type it was the old methods of mining that caused the concerns (high usage of mercury, etc.)

I think FFV will be a very successful play.

Best regards William
