Not necessarily so! Have a read!
The deepest mine
Bingham Canyon Mine, located near Salt Lake City, is the world's deepest man-made open pit excavation. The mine is 2.75 miles (4,5km) across and 0.75 mile (1,2km) deep. Since mining operations started in 1906, Bingham Canyon Mine has been the granddaddy of all copper mines.
That's 1200 metres deep! We only need to go 230m! Somerset island is also the 46th largest island in the world!
glta longs invested!
LOL. How large was that surface expession of the gossan they were driling into? Now yuo want to do a pushback of how many meters so that yuo can hit the top of the mineralized interval at 230m?
This hole hit mineralization; that mineralization is too deep to mine via open pit. AS a result, this hole is of littie signifigance and they will not be drilling any more in this exact location any time soon.
