RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Very Good Additional Drill ResultsYes the 170,000 is total material moved per day, so that would include waste and ore. Yes its a typical Nevada op, oxide ore on top and refractory sulphide ore below, so pretty normal.
Interesting question about covering. I looked at shorting KOR a few years ago and the stock was so tight that there wasn't enough to borrow for a decent short. It was also over valued and not a great candidate for shorting..
I then looked in to NM and it made more sense, a lower market cap and had much more obvious transaction value, permitted all oxde higher grades etc., but less gross ounces. So i was an NM shareholder, but never got the chance to buy or short KOR.
The answer to your last quesiton is No and No, LOL
