RE:RE:Anyone who is interested on doing a little DD.....@sasha
Do you really think you ever had a reputation here? You claim to be an expert here, even though you seem to understand very little, especially about Treaty Creek.
The two keys at Treaty Crekk are consistency and size! The largest gold mines in the world are gigantic open pits with low grade consistent ore - like what Tudor has at Treaty Creek.
You should read the 43-101 technical report carefully. The authors of the report conducted preliminary metallurgical testing using conventional processing technology (gravity, flotation and cyanide leaching). They found that gold recoveries were high (>95%) but the concentration ratio was low.
Several processing alternatives and pre-treatment methods can be tested at Treaty Creek (finer grinding or roasting).
Don't forget: Tudor still hasn't found the edges or the bottom of the Goldstorm deposit. And it has even more promising targets in that area (CBS, Eureka, PSZ).
I think that Konkin much rather spend the available capital on drilling than metallurgical testing. Who can blame him? He's finding gold for about CAD 1 per ounce. The closest highway to Treaty Creek is about 12 miles downhill trough a valley. From there, it's a 90-mile drive to the deepwater port of Stewart. So if it makes the most sense economically, concentrate can be trucked to Stewart and shipped overseas for further processing.
You did write that Seabridge is close to you - the fact that Tudor is already drilling with 8 drill rigs in May seems to worry Seabridge. Their tunnel plans may melt away like the ice of Treaty Glacier....
