SHALLOW vs DEEP 2023 pit models appear quite shallow.
Benches scaling mountain make pits appear deep.
Yet... their core pit bottoms do not look deep when one uses the
mine portal trail / road as elevation for referrence.
- Former studies show 2.5 km quill + east to west strike - not seeing it in 2023.
- Deep drills ( central
450+m ) ( Johnson East
762m ) ( Mine area
676m )
- Would any of the pits accommodate these deep drill intercepts ?
- Central is only 7 benches deep ( so much for hole 188 ( omg )
- Serpentines overlay sulphides
Pit #1 = UG Mine Area - i'm
only seeing 3 benches deep ( 30m )
- remaining scales mountain to give the appearence of, deep pit.
-
UG mine has lots of exotics ( 545m depths - 676m ) 2023 PFS ( page 222 ) No underground areas are considered in Mineral Reserves ? Does this mean the UG mine + deeper depths were not included ?
Peridotite 1/2 upper Sulphides 1/2 lower
We might be only seeing the 1/2 upper x 86% reduction
Analyze Pit # 1 Why is it in red ?
Why segragate it from other pits ?
Why so shallow ?
Look at the macro - all pit designs + depths.
Remind oneself -
benches scale the mountanous terrain Making it appear like deep depths
Show me just one deep pit - please and thank you Then remind oneself - - extraction can't handle peridotites
- 86% reduction
- eng firm input extraction recoveries into each block model
-
peridotites overlay sulphides = topical peridotites mined + 86% reduction with wrong extraction = $147 million NPV Observations.
What do others think ?
Am i right ?
Cheers...
