Sooz, the actual application for test mining is also mentioned in this Kal North update of 13 July 2012, where it states the intended cubed metre sample that would be taken. Seems like enough to me. Lol. Note that it also mentions generating 'final product' samples, and which we now know are top notch. Ka-Pow!
Here it is:
"Application for test mining at Kallak North
The Company also announces that JIMAB has recently filed an application for test mining at the Kallak North deposit with the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten, in accordance with the requirements of the Swedish Minerals Act and Environmental Code.
The purpose of the test mining is to collect representative samples for metallurgical test work off site,
allowing design parameters for mineral processing to be developed, as well as generating final product
samples for metallurgical testing by potential future customers. The application includes a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA"), which has been prepared following due consultation with stakeholders. The EIA prepared for the purposes of this application also forms part of the Company's ongoing environmental studies.
The planned test mining will include up to 2,000m3 of mineralised material from up to six trenches crossing the Kallak North mineralisation in a West-East direction. The length of the trenches will be up to 50m each. Arrangements for coarse crushing of the samples on site will be provided if required.
Following receipt of approval for this application in due course, detailed work plans will then be prepared and disseminated to the relevant land owners and users in the affected area prior to any field work commencing."
