Well probably in Ekwadore they can dam the river and reroute it. It would be possible to tunnel into the hill a km west and run te river through that. On the other hand, most of the ore is on the side of a hill. It is true that the west margin of the pit would encroach on the river bank, which approaches at closest about 125 metres to the west of the orebody proper, causing a tad of a problem. aurelian.ca On the other hand the generous grade would allow high rate bulk mining which would be just about as cheap as an open pit. What I don't understand is, since it is obvious the deposit joins up with the one point five gram bonza deposit to the south, why don't they also drill in that direction? So far they have proven something like 4.5 million ounces, a bit south of what many are saying is in the bag. What they upside is, as they drill their way over the mountain to the north and down dip, is anyone's guess. EC<:-}
