Spin 14-20 Years From 2027/2028 Production. Can’t Now.NDM has submitted their mine plan and are seeking a 404 permit based from this mine plan. Again, there was no reason for NDM to provide grade and total metals recovery for the 404 permit application. Mined metals do not equal 100% processed recovery.
Total tonnage as it relates to facility size, design, operation and closure will eventually be required. Grade and metal recovery is irrelevant at this point and is even more irrelevant since the resource is, still, pending feasibility (2019?) which should convert a portion of the the mine plan resource into a reserve.
NDM’s 14-year, without low grade stockpile processing, mine plan is magnitudes less than any previously announced resource release.
Nothing can change this for the time being for it would be contrary to the current mine plan submitted. If this a game NDM is trying to play they are worse off than originally identified.
