RE: Rocks on the tracks
RE: Rocks on the tracksI do not need to be a wizard Rio, I just have to be an honest person and one who is not prone to use the taunts of five years olds.
You are suggesting that it will take 5 months, 150 days to put in a 1000 foot decline. Thats an advance of 6.5 feet a day Rio. Are the contract miners you figure they will hire going to be limited to spoons, or do you think just maybe that a more typical two shift ten foot per round might just perhaps be what they are planning?
And yes if they had never run a lick of met on the ore from Ram or from the deposit, they might have to do a standing start five month met program to figure out what they will be doing. Thats not what they have on deck, Rio, they are only planning on moving from bench to pilot on a bulk sample, so there is already met availible and leach testing and the rest on the bench scale has already been plugged in.
As for AMD/ARD data, the bulk of tails are going back UG Rio, sent back as backfill through a sand plant. The fines from that met have been tested, Rio and not only are they a very small portion of the muck, they are not exactly a problem in a lined tailings facility up on the high and dry Big Flat area. The Big Flat has already been drilled for monitoring and the baseline exists, so why do you figure that they need to spend five months?
No EIS requires that a firm do a bulk sample for met work. Just about every EIS works from core or even from RC samples to determine what the process loop will be and what the mine plan is.
So please give us any example of any EIS or feasibility you have ever been involved with that required a bulk met sample be taken. Heck, you have yet to so much as name a mine that you hae ever worked at or any mine you have ever taken to prodcution. You are a cipher, Rio, and I suspect that you are a gadfly trolling with a pretty strong dislike of Scott and or MG.
Now try to take a few deep breaths and respond without the nasty little games you love to play and open up and tell us who or what you are and just maybe you would get a little respect. The cloaked ID that shoves knives in the back of people with little or no consequence is pretty hard to take too seriously.
