Was just reading more literature on Bull Mine.
I second guessed myself when i read there's a current 750/t per day mill.
I could havre sworn i read - 1000/t per day mill.
So... I decided to reread the Bull Mine " project description "
PAGE 5 ( PDF )

whew...lol
So... if even a 750/t per day mill....
Why is the " permitting office " making the process difficult by requiring an increased production thus, cause and reaction = forced majure for the junior to have larger mill ?
The current mill could easily handle the - 165,000 tonnes of stockpiled ore.
And as so .... the cash injection would certainly jet set the junior into a very favorable position without constraint to further their projects - whether Bull, Alpine, Thierry.
Peer Comparison ?
KC cooper comes ot mind. ( great project )
But.... what does Braveheart have over KC ? Lots of infastructure - placing Braveheart wel lahead in progress over KC.
In addition - Braveheart has several associated permits in hand.
2 HURDLES TO PASS ?
tailings hoop / hurdle - but braveheart has seems to tackled this with - drystacking ( smart )
So what's really left to do ? this so called increased production hurdle - as odd as it is,
one would think Braveheart would simply run with the existing - 750/t per day - right ?
OTHER TOPIC OF INTEREST ?
here's a photo of hte tailings pile.
see anything interesting ?
I do.
I see what appears as - milled ores. ( based on photo )
Now - i've scanned and skimmed a few mine files and well,,,,
I've found nothing pertaining to a former operator.
What was i searching for ?
First trhing that came to mind was... wondering how the stockpile assay samples resulted in higher grades than anticipated.
I couldn't help but think....
could the stockpiles have been high graded and ore sorted to creat a rich preconcentrate ?
VERSUS - raw ore rock from mine ?
Here take a look - if this photo is the actual stockpiles - does anyone else think the stockpile appears its seen advanced milling ?
Could it have been ore sorted to create a richer grade ore stock ?
Something t othink about - would make sense if my theory rang true... just wish there were historical reports that reported on these stockpiles - but i won't complain that the stockpiles
have high grades than anticipated...lol
Cheers....
