Hi Rick,
<<<TeeVee- A lot of the past conversations regarding mill size has centered around a capacity of 5000 tonnes per day. Is is technically and environmentally feasible to build and operate a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per day?>>>

Yes it is, assuming the tonnage is proven to the developers and financiers satisfaction. However, this would only happen on an incremental basis. A mill could be expanded in a modular fashion, but addition decline(s) or shaft(s) would be needed to access additional faces, headings and workings etc. to provide the extra feed. You may have noticed that many of the better (higher grade) operating mines go through at least one and sometimes multiple expansion phases in order to reach optimum eficiencies.

<<<Quite a shoot out at the O.K. corral today. Just a few of us back to back holding our positions. Don't get too good at clarifying information or you'll want to go news letter writing.>>>>

First, I don't have a big enough ego, and second, it would take the fun out of it....

regards,
teevee

Good point Rick, why mine out the whole resource in six months
when you can do it in three!

Why don't you guys start your own mining company, I'll pass on
the seed stock, thanks anyway.

Have you ever seen the John Wayne movie The Searchers, the fiance
in the movie had a cool way of laughing, haaa haaa haaa! Watch it
so you can see how I'm laughing right now, haa haa haa!

aj

Based on the mining methods used to mine this tabular sort of deposit look at tonnages more in the 2000-2500/day range, to sustain development.
