RE: Bulk sample to be removed; 200++ tonsIf they use a B2 Astar helicopter, which hauls 2000lb loads + 500lbs fuel; they haul out a 2000lb sample per trip. 400+ tonnes x 400+ helicopter trips = big bucks on helicopter service and a very fast and efficient way of getting the bulk sample out. I like everything about it. Blast it, load it up for the heli, and get it out. Fast. Effective. But, even moreso, if they are committing to helicopter service, it's because they think they have something. I like that the best.
