RE: RE: let's see... 0.1% I just wanted to know what you knew and why you thought you knew it, now we can talk. You quoted Bob Q as saying that with the planned high-grade underground mining option, some ore will be taken underground from within the ultimate open pit model outllne. Fair enough. You also wrote that you figure the high-grade resource is about 10 million tonnes within the open pit model Bob Q referred to.
"So i deduced they had considerable high grade bonanza like tonnage in their open pit configuration. Up to 10 million tonnes by my back of the envelope and totally offthe cuff estimate."
OK, maybe the ultimate underground mine plan takes some nice, rich tonnage out of the conceptual open pit, I grant you that possibility.
But in the near term (next several months) we are not talking about mining ALL of the underground resource blocks within the modeled open pit outline..... JUST a 10,000 tonne sample.
let's see... 10,000 tonnes divided by 10,000,000 tonne open-pit high-grade resource, using your estimate, equals one tenth of one percent of your estimate of the high-grade tonnes are in this bulk sample. WHAT'S YOUR objection again? 0.10%
