RE:RE:RE:Near surface higher gradesGreetings. I have been following kdk since the strike. I am in copper plays.
Bc, ak, az and nev. for decades.
Besides the long intercepts the best thing the deposit has is tecks attention.
The grades though r 2 weak to justify hoisting but very high to justify hauling.
To much overburden to remove from entire deposit. But what if kdn found a rich core that that was pushed closer to surface. That could b mined to total ore depth. Then it would seam possible to block cave the rest of the higher grade for sure. That is what happened with tecks old ajax mine in kamloops.
There were 2 highgrade near surface cores that they creamed. Ame proved feasability on the large remainder of the deposit. They r at permitting stage currently.
Kdk deposit is just starting to define. Although I do not own them at this time, I believe there is a lot of potential. Tecks other rich pit at kam was found to have very rich veins running from the pit.
That could b the same at kdk new discovery. Once shafts and mill were in place to hoist rich rock the center higher grade porphory could b block caved and hoisted as well.
Just some thoughts.
All the best.
