Charred,

Could you expand on your comment regarding "The problem is the gold is hosted in quartzites not acid leached Tertiary volcanics like Piernia and Yanacocha."

I presume you are talking about heap leaching and the low cost of mining Pierina and Yanacocha due to their nature.

In your opinion, how is this a problem?

Any details you can provide would be appreciated.

Qd

Why is the quartzite host a problem?
