I realize that you need more results, however, my calculations are assuming that the inferred and indicated are proven.
So, you are suggesting that open pit/partial open pit is totally out of the question.
I guess with the gold at greater depths, some serious benching would be in order to get to the deposits, increasing the costs. I have seen mines where part is open pit, then ramp to ore bodies below the pit. I am more familiar with underground mining operations than open pit though.
I am trying to find a similiar deposits at this depth that are currently being mined.
Sinking shaft is an extremely expensive endeavor, and ramping to ore bodies is as well. I am also assuming that a CHL facility would be required to process the ore.
