RE: Jim SteelPlans are to operate as an open pit. The mill must move down into the valley where the season maybe extended somewhat. If ore could be mined during the summer season and stock piled at the bottom of the ridge TGX could get somewhat of a longer time to process material but access will always remain difficult.
I certainly believe the ore and grade is there. Next year plans call for a bulk (mini) mining operation. Assuming of course the valuation is successfully completed and additional capital can be raised at a resonable price say $1 / share. (This value assumes good values are proven). Perhaps a larger player may join forces with TGX for this test with the option to acquire a major position in the company by bring it into production.
