RE: 5 YEARS to mine out the high grade gold Bottles,
Great feedback :) .
From the corporate update Feb 2013
Seabee Infrastructure Expansion
The mill has been expanded to 1050 tons/day. There is a blip about capable of sustaining 850 tons/day.
I don't know if that is all they can mine but there needs to be some clarification there.
I do know that they ran 275,230 tons last year. The company runs 365 days a year. That only comes out to 754 tons / day. As you can see this is about 25% less than the max rate.
It seems like they could run 55,000 oz at 7.5 g/t L62 for two years without having to expand the mill at all and not using the Santoy 8 material at all. Can you flesh this statement out a bit and see where it falls short?
Remember that there is a really, really nice 20-30m core at Santoy Gap that is close to the ramp when completed.
