RE:RE:I just submitted the same post to Hudbay!Martyboss. my best guess now is that Hudbay is presently negotiating the purchase of the mill at the old, Bucky Lake Mine. Hudbay has the cash to do what Rockcliff Metals couldn' t accomplish.
Why haul their base metal ore all the way up to their present Snow Lake mill, if there is a better and cheaper option?
I think that Hudbay spent about $100 million upgrading the New Britannia Mine to better process their higher value, gold containing ore.
So if Talbot is mineralized as massively as Lalor, then I would imagine that the base metal component of the ore could be processed, at Bucky Lake, while any higher value gold ore, could be trucked, all the way up to the New Britannia mill.
It is a matter of what might be, the most cost efficient, decision to make!
If Hudbay felt New Britannia was worth the expense of upgrading, then I imagine that they could also afford the expense of upgrading the Bucky Lake mill. They would simply add any needed additional processing circuits as they expanded the size of that mill. I believe it is only a 1000 ton/day mill at the present time. It would have to be upgraded to at least a 2000 ton/day operation! To double its size, should be no problem, for them to accomplish!
After Hudbay took over the Talbot project, they probably told Rockcliff to keep quiet about any further need to drill at Talbot, until they finish negotiating a deal, to buy the Bucky Lake mill!
With two operational base metal mills, then both Lalor and Talbot could be mined at the very same time.
I am telling you guys this, because it's up to you, at what better price, you might yet, decide to sell your shares. You have sat on these shares for a very long time! But your grumbling days, may soon be over!
This is the good reason that I bought my Rockcliff shares. And I have no intention, of selling these shares, any time soon!
They may be inexpensive now. But that is going to change.
Once all the truth gets out, our share price, may rise, sooner than we think!
All the best! Java
