goz.v - that was the plan of wim.to when they had Bjorkdal ten years ago, and for them it was certainly wishful thinking, lol ... most all previous mining was open-pit, of course - goldoreresources.com
Expanding the pit, or doing another beside it, has never been out of the question, it's a matter of crunching the numbers and deciding which way to go .... the possibility of better economics through open-pit is no doubt why they haven't ramped up already to full production, because they've got the mill right there ready, and a good mining contractor with all equipment, that's how they did the tunnel, also they've been milling old stockpiles of ore ... if they started up the mill at capacity and were following veins, which they could have done any day of the week for months now, we could probably take that as indication that Bob W had decided the economics of a bigger pit were not there .... they haven't done so, therefore Bob W still sees the question as open ... ? - just my take on it, haven't spoken with him
alz.v - 1.4m vol, hoo-hah, could be something up there ... earlier action that i would have expected ... now if only something would happen with that pos bmc.v, lol |
