RE:RE:RE:Question I asked of CK of newfound goldWith high density grade control and GLS designed mining equipment, over 90% of the ore within the optimized pit can be excluded as waste ore.
For Valentine Lake, out of 609 million tons of rock within the open pits, only 51 million tons were to be mined and milled.
So, while reduced to gold concentrate would be desirable, direct shipping of mined ore separated by an optimized mining program would be quite adequate imo..
