THOUGHTS - With
1.4 million oz of gold, just for starters
infill drilling in the works
open pit modelling -
gold at surface to depth
2.5 km strike... makes for a great dev story.
BUt... one needs to unlock this gold where it makes more
money than other peers....
I found the economics had no
elbow grease. $35 / tonne all in cost is on the high side
when one is speaking - open pit -
Takes 34.5 tonnes ( or 12 cubics ) 2.6 ore weight
= 1 oz of gold % 90% recovery
34.5 tonnes
x $35 tonnes all in cost
= $1207
Here is where a smart juniors
begins looking at ways to shave this figure
down bringing value to shareholders and self.
- potential secondary mineral credits
- make one's own energy ( river )
- reduced - onsite - power consumption
- no trucking of ores
- less labor
- less fuel costs
- no carbon produced
Here's a photo of the river aside of Fokus" claims.
Zoom in on the river section - between - morris and
hendrick - if one has expanded the photo enough,
they'll see " white water " turbulence.
That's a good indication the flow rate of the river
has some speed and is moving - many cubics
of water = flow rate.
What do you do with a river ?
You place this outside the river - easier on enviro permits
with long water pipe in water that scales from
1 meter diameter to size of hole on flange of unit.
38 KW GENERATOR - https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Alternative-Energy-Francis-Hydro-Generator-Water_1600396672670.html What does one install ?
This... a water powered genrator to produce electricity.
Free power = Less cost to mine each tonne of ore.
Creates upto - 38 KW
5 Kw can handle - ( exmaple load )
4 - 60 watt light bulbs
1 fan
1 motor
1 refridgerator
38 KW could handle
7x more. What do you do with this power ?
You split water to make hydrogen.
Not much power is needed.
HOW DO YOU MAKE HYDRGOEN Here's a quick video showing how a small hydrogen generator cell can prodcue 38/L of hydrogen every minute =
54,720 Liters of hydrogen in a 24 hour cycle. DRY CELL - 38/L per min = 54,720 L per day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lrBcof0d-0 That's alot of hydrogen in 24 - hours.
One then connects to a generator that functions on - hydrogen.
MAKE ALL THE ELECTRICITY A MINE NEEDS.
Very simple set up - using river as green energy power.
YOUR NOT MAKING CARBON NOW...
Your actually earning carbon credits due to no carbon produced.
With olivine ores.. .one can also - make more money
sequestering - another miners - carbon.
2 - more cost reductions.
Hence... the quick economics in last press.
needs more thought put into it.
Now... one could say.... there's most likely
toll mills nearby...
And my reply ?
Most likely there is...
But.... toll mills like to make money too.
eats into the overlal costs...
not to mention the - distance travelled with raw ores,
more labor and fuel costs andcarbon produced.
such can add up and take from
overall profits. Not to metnion...
mining industry is going green...
forced to manage and reduce carbon.
Every mine will have to account for carbon.
Imagine rnning - hydrogen trucks or ev trucks
with own power created ?
How about entire mine running on near free power
equipt - energy costs - chopped right down to the point
of nearby peers - are envious.
It's not about installing a generator in river....
The river could be shallow... with high flow rates.
It's about cvapitalizing on the speed of water flow
Installing the unit outside of river
makes for easier permitting - less fottprint....
With only a pipe in water - to feed the hydro generator.
Secondly....
run a few cores batches - again.
Using ICP - MS -
It detects - ions -
far more precise.
Since this district has " cobalt group " geology.
And as shown in last post...
There are several minerals showing themselves
but.... what if the grades were compromised with -
fire assaying methods ?
Hence - perform a different assaying - designed for
battery metals....looking for ions...
Would it throw a wrench into - gold mining ?
Hard to say....
if the gold drops out using basic extraction gravity mehods.
then... one would simply divert the remaining tailings to a
second circuit to - pull the other minerals...
Not unless other heavies are captured with the - gold in
first phase... such as the .14$ titanium - hidtorical grades.
There you have it...
few ideas
- how to produce free energy = less cost to mine
- revealing other minerals in ores
such as the titantium...
I fgure if these two - subjects - were worked on,
inconjunction to, infill drillimg....
They's have something - x-special.
Something diff than other peers.
A vantage over them.
Not unless....
larger player is eyeing this junior ?
Who knows...
Not investment advice.
Moreso, adivce for junior.
Cheers....
