If the 60 metre thick 1% nickel bed plunges at 40% it will get too deep and preclude economic open-pit mining. However the strong 500 metre long east-trending I.P. anomaly indicates the zone perhaps does not continue plunging a 40 degrees and in fact flattens out. If this happens the open-pittable scenario becomes more possible.

If the high grade 2.3 metre wide zone also plunges at 40 degrees but does not widen or is not one of a series of high grade zones, then it does not appear it would be economic to mine.

These are a lot of "ifs" that will only be answered with drill results.
