RE:RE:RE:Brent Cook on NovoThat is not the problem - Gold Nuggets are infinitely easier to separate than say diamonds. The issue is the grade- 2-4gpt over 0.5m is just a bit lean. With faulting and inconsistent geometry it ends up mined at <1gpt over a couple meters. Still ok for the shallow stuff, but not for going underground and not for carrying a high strip ratio (and 20m deep is a 40:1 strip ratio on 0.5m!).
hopefully it ends up a little higher grade with more data but that is against the odds now I think. Good luck to you guys sticking with this!
