RE:Mine Life and head gradesTo clarify, I did not do much of an analysis to get to seven years. Just that to make a change that will result in that much difference to the grade, the range of sample application may have been about 30% too far. Changing that has to cut back the volume by a significant amount, not a subtle amount, maybe as much as 30%, but they are gaining volume on the drop in cutoff grade, so need to make a very rough estimate call it 22%. This does not include anything new found after or outside of the original block model. The reports don't show how the curves were arrived at so one is left with the only option being a very rough estimate, and with now being doubtful and somewhat skeptical about the resource estimates, one may become less likely to be shy about this.
I will always be confident and very supportive of work in that region, have been for 35 years. Beyond 200 million years ago BC was a waterworld with scattered islands like the Philippines, into the Jurassic come folding, intrusions, volcanism sometimes extreme. Having been subjected to extreme forces, and strong mineralizing events, the Brucejack deposit age, about 190 m, was a time and place for some good deposits to form, at least some of which remaining hidden.
