Goliath is a much better buy than the three Amigos IMO
I wonder why TUD spends money on 1000 + meter holes , in whose lifetime is any one going to mine 1gm Auequ over 3000 feet down ?

"I wonder why TUD spends money on 1000 + meter holes , in whose lifetime is any one going to mine 1gm Auequ over 3000 feet down ?" Great question, Galaxym31. That's why there is no PEA. It doesn't work.

Seabridge has lower grades than Tudor and - before a gram of gold can be mined - a 20km tunnel has to be built, which has neither been applied for nor approved. And you actually claim that Goldstorm is not economically mineable, but Seabridge is? What a load of BS!

SEA also has extremely low strip ratios. I think it's less than 1/1 for the first 30 years or so. Grade is part of the equation but where it is, the cost to mine it and the exraction of the metals are just as important.

What you seem to misunderstand CSK is that block caving is basically as economical as open pit now...the initial Capex is higher, but the long term ongoing costs are much lower which brings the average cost right into line...read a few articles and educate yourself....

How dare you try to fight conjecture and random biased opinion with facts.....lol!!

SEA has NO MTT & NO JV either as a result. You are the most daft individual on SH. What is it that you do not understand?

Good for you CSK...strip ratios don't apply for block caving.

Reality = SEA has a PEA but Low grades + NO MTT which after 10 years of only talk is not even approved = NO JV after years of promises. SEA needs TUD but not the other way around. When TUD gets a PEA by end of 2024 or in early 2025, it will be checkmate = game over!

KSM will use block caving, and their grade is much lower than Goldstorm. See here: https://www.wsp.com/en-ca/projects/block-caving-reaches-deeper-deposits-at-ksm Five of the ten largest mines in the world use block caving: https://www.mining.com/featured-article/ranked-worlds-10-biggest-underground-mines-by-tonnes-of-ore-milled/

This is just an idiotic comment....they aren't tunneling down, they're tunneling in from the side of the mountain underneath the glacier....at that level it's not much more than a straight shot in. That's how block caving works....
