RE:RNX and small scale mining and why Paul André Huet was added

[goldhunter11]

PierreG, Very interesting background of Paul Andre Huet, Chair of the Tech Committee. With this kind of hands-on experience he should feel like a fish in water working with Kevin S, and air leg/jack leg drillers. We may perhaps, see him standing down there at 500 m level , in driller outfit, digging up specimen for his paperweights. GH11 -----------

Small scale production from the A Zone 14 & 15 levels and the Fathers Day Vein structure will continue through 2019 . @notgoldguy on CEO.ca wrote small scale mining requires very special skills and years of training ie Air Leg or Jack Leg mining. With modern mines moving more to bulk operations, these skills are getting very short in supply. I now believe that managements addition of Paul Andr Huet is in large part due to his small scale expertise, from Bloomberg: I know what it's like to drill and blast, and grab a jack leg, he said. I've done all that for 10 years before I went into management. Within the mining community he's known for his expertise developing underground mines on narrow, concentrated deposits, such as Fire Creek and Midas. There's a very short list of people that would take on these narrow-vein high-grade systems, Allan said. Not a lot of people are good at mining them. https://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/washington-post/business/canadian-mining-darling-finds-gold-in-projects-no-one-wants-1.7843625
