RE:RE:RE:RE:Interview with Stephen Stewart"they would need it if they built a mill nearby for the pe\roperties"
I suppose that depends on how much ore they find near McGarry (Mirado, McGarry, Barber-Larder and most likely Omega), the volume of tailings that will produce and what the holding capacity of the tailings facility is. It might also depend on whether or not KL wants to take over Golden Candle as they may have a trump card there. Having said that Golden Candle's "ore" is said to be about one gram per ton and six million ozs., so to mine, there would be about 180 million tons of tailings - rather a lot although perhaps some could be disposed of in other ways such as back into mined out portions of the pit. I estimate the Kerr Addison tailings to be about 33 million tons and as previously said there is some talk of putting that back through a mill. Barber Lake right across the road from the McGarry tailings facility may be a possibiity. The last time I was there it looked already like it was pretty heavily contaminated - likely a brownfield of sorts.
