I didn't know that there were any open pit platinum mines in Timmins. It is unlikely that the metallurgical issues for Timmins type gold ores are even close Pt+Pd ores.

I believe the mining issue at River Valley is also more complex as there appears to be a need to assay every foot of the mineralized zone as what is over 3 grams per ton may be visually similar to what is less than a gram. Ask your friend if this changes the cost of mining? Assaying the entire bench before it's mined is not a happy thing, I don't think.

If the mineralized zone is not obvious how to you get grade control? What about defining internal waste and dilution? Amplats probably won't want to build a mill and then run a bunch of waste through it, do you think?
