RE:The rain will turn to SNOW soonThat's healthy precipitation (granted ancient hostory and all-time records) - however being on the high tide mark there and so warmth from the water - maybe snow does not fall at the site - or at least it does not hang around for too long.
one thing in the companies favour is that because this is glacial scree - its all a matter of scraping and putting into a primary crusher - it should be an all weather mine - it does have that advantage, in my view.
Sure there will be some seasonality - it comes down to how much - and what can you do to (winter) weatherize your operations.
