RE:RE:RE:Types of Pre-Production Capital CostsYeah, I agree, the CAT 797s wouldn`t be able to make the journey. I think Blizzy`s idea of moving the plant over to La Negra sounds more viable, if economical to do so. Not only would they be able to process the La Negra ore, but it would eventually bring the Pormontorio deposit into the mix - possibly creating a future (continous) production flow 15 -20 years.
As mentioned before, it is not the end of the world if they are unable to ultilize the Alamo Dorado plant (in any way). Early tests show that La Negra ore is heap leachable (both the oxides and the sulphides). They can put in a heap leach operation onsite at La Negra instead.
