RE: Mill Site
Wolfin13...
The ore is most definitely going to be shipped to Timmins which is about a 90 minute drive from the Chester Property.
According to their data they have allowed $12.00 per tonne as shipping costs... the hauling trucks will have a capacity of between 40-50 tonnes per unit depending if they go with single boxes or add in pup trailer units. Their target is 250 tonnes a day to start.
Tony Makuch is the Chairman of the Board of TRR and is presently the President and CEO of Lake Shore Gold located in Timmins...it would seem that their mill would be an obvious choice. However, Lake Shore is under pressures of their own to achieve production targets and may not be able to provide the Toll Mill services at this point in time, but depending on what they decide in the future they may be able to take on their feed as they expand their mill at Bell Creek.
The next choice would be the Gold Corp Mill in Timmins, their capacity is 11,000 tonnes per day and would not have any trouble taking on the TRR feed.
Their is also the St. Andrew Mill in Stock Township which may be able to take on the feed. This may turn out to be the most likely choice at this point in time. This site may add on to their haulage charges as it is located about 30 miles from Timmins.
