Phase 2 ASAP?...
Phase 2 ASAP?...Like I have said... the latest presentation indicates $4M required for Phase 2... Phase 2 was not originally scheduled to be started until Feb 2012... maybe they decided to ramp up asap?... Phase 2 includes expanding the leach pad and mining and processing Borealis pit ore. The latest drill program's objective was "a series of holes that is designed to obtain additional mine planning data in the Borealis pit for reserves". Phase 2 costs $4M... GGN just raised $4M. Is this all a coincidence? Could be but just throwing it out there. Did results from the ongoing drill program warrant immediate development of this Borealis Pit ore? Maybe it made more sense to do this expansion now as part of solution to overcome production issues related to Phase 1?
Another major milestone on our horizon is ADR construction. As per slide 20, this was to be commissioned in December. That's just 1 week away. If their record of being well ahead of schedule applies to the ADR plant we could see an announcement here soon. If so, and they are initiating Phase 2 now (only previously scheduled to take just 1 month), GGN could be recovering their own gold an silver to bullion before year end. No? Again just speculating.
