RE:2.5% copper equivalent grade
here is the thing... their Cu+ recovery was up 20,000 ppm from 67 to 69,,, NCU would not be blasting a new lateral unless they were already into that 2.5%.. i understand the reserve pile..
i suspect 47 coming out of the mine and that increase is due to part of that lateral being scraped..
the other item.. NCU has a small staff.. i think they hav been downtown working the shaft..
