This video is 12 years old and looks like they were already well into production. Just shows how efficient a mine can be, they were making big $$ back when the cu price was much lower.
'Musings'
Well, what a nightmare the last week was, 'luckily' I had little or no net for 4 days so missed most of it!
I have to say, like most of us I was initially shocked that the JORC had come out so low - I had RC at about 1.35e6t, as did a few others. I should also say, and I should have really known this, that I initially had no idea all of the data would not be in the JORC, bad research on my part. Saying that, it would have been good if the company also released a short .ppt highlighting that to us mining noobs; I feel that would have caused less panic.
I should say IMO, If CB had tempered expectations early on the SP would probably increased off the RC JORC. I really hope he learns from that, although I doubt it.
Anyway, Let's hope they do some sort of presentation for Ascot. Treat us like idiots and lay it out on a plate in simple terms please!
So what could we have: @RC? 1.1MT (in the bag)+ .03Mt=~1.3/1.4Mt
@AC? 0.3
So we could be looking at ~1.6MT all in? I think the market would be extremely happy with that at this stage. Based on that it would seem, as CB stated, he could get us to 2MT with more drilling.
Problem is SP is fecked so where does the $ come from for a bit more drilling without a long wait for Manica $ to build up? - Could we get a small, 5m, loan off the back of the results and projected Manica Income? - Maybe Boliden would jump into bed with us? They seem best placed to be the eventual buyers of this project.
