RE: stokpikeryour statement:
you seem sure that NGD will end up mining, where will they process the ore, do you know anything about the 'better location and cheaper alternative' that they had previously referred to. Ive read about the possibility of them trucking but that doesnt seem like the technologically innovative concept they made reference to.
currently the work ngd is doing will allow an engineering firm to do a feasibility study.
this study when complete will tell us all the size, location, thru-put, potential profit and above all else, the cost of production of ngds' ore.
you as well as the rest of the shareholders will all know at that time.
trucking is out not worth considering.
drill results and tonnage estimate are 10 to 20% better than the scoping study from 2003 - 2004.
underground exploration to begin in new year might discover other zones.
max production from this current zone would be 12,000 to 15,000 tons per day.
new zone might make mill thru-put higher.
this means the current mill might not work for ngd, so why make a deal on something that might not work?
good luck. bt
