Wayne - Kirkland is an underground operation. They are mining today at depths of over 5000 feet. They recently started a cross-cut tunnel to get them from existing mining areas to the new areas that are discussed in the release. It will take some time to get over there, but once the tunnel is in place, they can drill it off much faster than doing it from surface. Infrastructure is in place, mining is ongoing, many of the production issues have been resolved so their costs per ounce have been coming down.
