Current DFS is just for the area we have mining rights to Fr.Jack.Hackett. Three pits to be operating there initially, third must be to come, as you rightly say, next season along with more wash plants and the draglines after the electric cable is ran to the mining site.
A DFS for part of the first flanks, adjacent North, would make sense and gain the mining rights there. They will have that all planned out, not sure what year they would do that, but, production increasing at WK could go on every season for quite some years to be honest, it's such a huge land area there now and a lot of it was explored back in Anglo JV days.
WK potential was always enough to buy in during half penny days tbh, now they have that massive footprint starting at Monchegorsk also, the Eurasia picture is certainly a very bright one.
JORC's, DFS etc being done there as we speak, pit construction next season, but, there are some historical pits already in place in some Rosgeo JV areas. They would ultimately arrive at production at a very fast speed there, could even come online next year tbh, then the likes of West Nittis and Loipishnune planned pits the following year. Is that the plan to bring that district to production?
That's why it's always quite exciting, you can get your own idea of how they may possibly do things from what info is out there. Pits, pits and well, more easy to construct open pits.
