Nelson all of it will be open pit. We did relatively shallow drilling in most areas, I think we only drilled a few deeper holes (300m ish) in one or 2 areas. Need to check
I think it will be super economic. 2g per ton is I think 180usd per ton of gold. In the kalaka estimate note they said 30usd for mining and processing.
Even greatland golds mine is 50usd. That is underground mining. They drive few hundred meters to get to start of deposit. Orebody is spread over a 1.2km vertically, and you need to build ramps, expose the ore etc. We are just scooping and slapping in a dump truck
