RE:2guys
I haven't actually looked too deeply here, but I haven't seen mention of a strip ratio as of yet, and I wouldn't think there can be one until a 43-101 resource estimate has been completed.
As for get a shovel and heave-ho, after the overburden has been cleared, well it's just not that simple.
We'll need a 3D model to see exactly how the ore body lies underneath the overburden.
Then of course comes costs in separating the low grade graphite from the ore body, but we don't want to discuss costs just yet, except to stipulate that they're low.
