RE:RE:How many meters left before IVN mines platinum?Note that completion of shaft 1 is far from sufficient for mining to begin. It will facilitate mine development and further reserve definition. To commence mining proper, shaft 2 (for ore haulage) will need to be constructed, as will a mill to process the ore.
However, I expect Ivanhoe to be taken over (or to have concluded other corporate transactions) long before that point! Nice to see a lively share price today. ;-)
Note that Capn. Bob said on 22nd November:
"In addition, and further to Ivanhoe's August 29, 2016, announcement that it was exploring strategic options to help address unsolicited interest that has been received regarding potential corporate and project opportunities, Ivanhoe remains engaged in friendly and detailed discussions with potential strategic partners and investors relating to the company and its projects."
Disclosure: I hold shares in this company.
Cheers,
Mark
