RE: RE: NI 43-101 on SEDAR as of Jan 7th - MUST REStanley
you as anyone would know, February completion of surface ramp will probably mean March (1st quarter) time to complete stripping and begin in earnest blasting of next phase of pit means early May, I do not mean to discourage people all I was trying to get across is that The price of shares might drop a bit more into the early spring, I think they have a solid plan going forward, the only thing that worries me about all the Ni 43-101s to date is the backfill (or lack of) of the stopes, these stopes continued production are very dependent upon timely backfilling. I am suprised to see none of the reports mention driving a backfill raise, the earlier one by SRK mentions backhauling, which is not very efficient, storage of backfill is the problem, silo-raise could alleviate this.
Having worked there a few times before the carbonate zones (50% of the ore) are very hard to follow, while the flow ore is more continuous, thats why i said it would be tough mining.
