RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Gov't. RelationsDo you guys actually live in Canada? If so, I take it it's under a rock. Not only do I disagree with you, but every exploration and mine manager in Canada would too. Enough of the social commentary and back to SLAM. Bitumen, you have a very narrow view on the feasibility of deposits. Please read mooreman's previous post below. I know it won't matter to you or fragman, but he's a geologist so he knows a thing or two about the industry.
But as I've commented on in the past, grades alone don't make a project feasible. Tonnage, mining methods/recovery and location are all key factors. As you know, Nash Creek is open pit amenable with the deposit's depth generally from surface to 75m. All infratsructure is in place with power lines, a major highway and a railway line transecting the property. Mills, a smelter and a seaport are all within 50 km or so. These factors potentially save tens-hundreds of millions of dolllars in development costs. So those that dismiss the company based solely on the grades of the deposit are missing out on an extremely undervalued investment opportunity in a future revenue generating company.
