RE: Trucking
telemarker:
ok lets have it your way, but just for the bulk metallurgical study sample .
that sample will not go to hvc! simple reason why?
hvc thru put per day is about 125,000 tonnes!
your proposal would require mining and hauling 5,000 tpd.
after hauling for 25 days you would have enough for one day thru put.
if you hauled for a year you would have enough ore to run for 12 days at hvc.
also when the bankable feasibility is completed, imo, half of the capital cost,
will be for the undergrownd development, hoisting equipment, ventilation shafts and
accesses to mine the ore.
you may as well build the mill at the same time as all of this work is being completed.
hope this helps, thanks, and good luck bt.
