With a 2-3% dip the UCC would be about 10-15 meters deep at 500 meters down dip and the LCC would be 25-30 meters deep. Now is it cheaper from this point to remove 25-30 meters of very hard overburden or go underground and Hi Tech and move only a fraction of the rock?
We have power lines crossing the claim at Comet Well. A perfect location for a mill might be just over the claim line on 100% NVO owned property. This would also be a great starting point to go underground. Way less rock to move, power, easy access …and on 100% owned NVO ground…

Question for QH:
You have calculated that a square Km of mineralized conglomerate in the Pilbara contains approximately 700,000 oz of gold …..how many square Kms of our 12,000+ square Km land package do you believe host mineralized conglomerate …. 1….10….100…..1000….?
I would love to hear his honest uncensored answer; I’m betting it’s at least one of the last two.
Good fortune to us all
P.S. Thanks for the read Isky, always appreciated.
