Mycashgoesohno.... Your a cut above the rest.I like you... I really do.
You speak the facts, have keen awareness of the trolls, and know the company stats and speak in terms of a positive yet conservative nature, which usually indicates a reserved wisdom.
My compliments to you, kind, Sir.
It would be wonderful if this board began chatting about the comparisons - of other gold mining companies - peers who have saught the same - have success of the sane - open out mining - with soft ore, and the hurdles they overcame, and what choices were decided upon, and if they chose railing it to the mill.
If memory serves me right, I think there a mining company - upper Canada, lol - maybe Thunder Bay? Please do forgive - can't seem to remember... Maybe it was nugold?
Anyways, it was a gold company, and they're building a rail system... To transport the ore - to the main mill... A decision - arrived at, based on life of mine and the obvious and far more convenient option of - trucking it in. Yes, trucking it in is easier, quicker to jump start the mining, but not if there are roads... If no roads? Its far easier to build a rail system, that the company owns, and could earn a profit, or a reduced cost to build, if.... They leased the rail during optimal time frames, here it us... Great idea.... To another company whom may want to process their ire at their mill. I think this could off set the cost by, leasing out rail access, or a shared cost with another mining company.
Secondly.... Why buy new, when new to you rails would serve the purpose, quite adequetly?
Here' s a link, that just may be the ticket to get this gold train going. lol
