The next Detour?"Trade offs". How many times has Detour been mentioned when making comparisons? Many times including most recently, Justin saying...if this was a new build, you'd build it bigger.
Hard not to wonder if Sean Boyd of Agnico Eagle hasn't been looking at this? Why not add another deposit like Detour, it would fit in quite nicely in that portfolio of deposits.
Sure seems the " trade off" just might be to go with bigger?? Who knows? We'll find out soon enough. I'm leading to think bigger... but also appreciate other opinions as well,, such as Temples, maybe 10,000 tpd in the high grade? Interesting at least of the many scenarios that could come out?
Check this Agnico Eagle link out....showing Detours production numbers....wow! Over 700,000 ounces last year.. Might just he worth going bigger ...
