RE:E-W LONG SECTION - VERTICAL (Looking North) ZONE C2idle,
Just looked at C2 a well. The "best ever" intercept came from hole TM-17-261 (71.61 m over 14.75m for a whopping 1056 gpt-m value which is tremendous for a UG operation). This hole was mentioned agin in the latest NR (the upgraded RE), but it along with many pink dots (not included in the RE, I presume...Can you confirm this and the cut-off date for the data used in the upgraded RE?).
This hole along with TM-17-253 are inside the area for bulk sampling, so I am pretty sure that their samples would be on the high grade side (i.e. over 10gpt?). Hole TM-17-259 (21.96 gpt) is just a few m above hole 261.
If one looks across C2 x-section from W to E and down to about 300 m below the surface, there is enough deep pink blobs (gold grade x thickness > 50gpt-m) to warrant a OP operation across Triangle and #4 Plug.
Just speculating, but perhaps de Jong had this idea as well?
Would OP be a cheaper option to start the mining operation, just like what they did in the northern end...then continue with the UG operation?
