Hi TT, building our own processing plant is not an option at the moment as it will take 3 years to build and only after permitting, then we need to tie in to the Telfer gas pipeline for power generation even though we will build green infrastructure but need back up 100% just in case. Owners of Telfer would require long term contracts to process feed stock so that is also a problem unless they will take a 5 year deal while we build our own plant. Also to take into consideration is the size of the new plant, how do we size it, just for HAV? what about future finds, for me Telfer can take 3 or 4 times Hav size with minimum changes. DM
