RE:Scoping study to be releasedJosa:
Thanks for the response..wrt the Scoping Study ETA. November is not that far away ... as is the parameters/scope for the Scoping Study.
In a fickle POG environment, a second hole could have a "double whammy" impact in that it could be both a confirmatory and expansonary.
While I will have a very low expectation of BRD indicating any SAS dealings, this is covered-off in a previous post. Point being, I'm speculating that by working with SAS (I'm also an SAS sh) BRD may get the opportunity to attain depth to UG via an adit from the SAS side in addition to the OP synergies already, "in the public domain".
In the Sage case, they're on SAS's property next to the Black Fox (old Stock) Mill . Sage will possibly working with SAS to lobby/swap BRD for mill capacity (horse trading).. synergy here is any BRD ore displaced by Sage MAY be sent to HM (not to mention a cost engineers dream... shorter distance, a right hand turn unto the highway and another unto the HM mill with lower density traffic). SAS has surface equuipment at Hislop North which may obviate BRD's OOPS pit on a split schedule (travel time/cost for OP spread).
BWDIK? If BRD cannot come to some arrangement with SAS there could be an entitity out there (looking to mine in a predictable/stable mining environment) capable of combining both properties and extracting the potential synergies. e.g. Alamos.
