IMAGE COMPARISONSWS 271 + 272 Drill Hole Placements from juniors original map to compare with
2014 / 2015 Tech report. Why discuss this ? Compare 2023 pit depth with drill depths
If 2023 pit is using 10m benches = 120m depth from base camp elevation.
Teck map shows WS 271 - 676m depth ( one drill 3 intercepts )
If the 2023 pit is only 120m .... hello.

I revised my own overlay lateral lines on the 2014 Pit Shell.
In plight of -
comparing 2014's depth to 2023 Pit Depth.
Shortening my yellow lateral lines and aligning them to ( fist contact of grid )
By doing so... yellow elevation lines are more intune with elevation + deposit.

In 2014 / 2015 the former junior modelled Wellgreen with
several multi pit phases.
I cleaned up my 4 pack collage ( speculation post )
It's actually a really good way to analyze each of these images
and compare with the 2023 pit model.
2014 frontal = 500m grid spacing
2014 north side = 200m gridding
I highlighted - first image - outlining the faint grey lines with black lines
showing the 3 phase pit models
Former junior wated to keep the underground mine.
Such explains the..... blank white space.
900m deep on front side
600m deep on back side.
Former junior, Spoke about a 38 yr mine life.
Several pits. Showed each pit development.
Included all ore tonnage. ( sulphide + peridotite )
0.15% Ni cut off.
1.2 billion NPV after tax
( no iron, titanium, chromium, magnesium or exotics )
Present junior, One pit that looks like only half thickness of mountain.
No backside mined ( 2014 showed it would mine backside )
2023 pit appears shallow compared to, mineral body.
86% peridotites axed ( from 846 million tonnes )
One drill i came across had 0.15% Ni but.... 1 - 2% Pt Eq. If one ever axed 0.15% Ni blocks....what if they too had decent platinum grades ? No iron, exotics, titanium, chromium, magnesium
$143 million NVP
2014 multi pit models....
Removes the entire mountain all the way to central.
If 2023 Pit model only carves front side of mountain.
Much of the mountain's backside remains.
Look at the 2023 pit model again.
Now look what's on the backside of mountain.
Look at the grades. 2014 block model above reveals
600m total height + depth. And still open below.
Our 2023 pit model doesn't include this backside - right ?
Cheers....
