Doc, Brad was being factual. The original lab only test for gold. He stated a spec of visible silver doesn’t prove much but to test for silver has to go to another lab. He is correctly managing expectations and stating it is very early and too early to call a discovery. Imagine if the market took on board the bb ramping and then modest silver and little gold. Best to wait for results on that one. I like his presenting, he is a pretty straight batting auzie. Castro is a bit more your typical aim type.
Re production, guesstimate of 1-2 years, maybe more maybe less for the permit processc mre, studies etc. then you have the preparation of site. From experience, all of these processes take longer than expected. The current mre is taking longer than first forcast. That’s what happens, it’s not negative it is how it is. Mre will likely be published in Feb. This will be replicated at most stages imv and 2 years for production is v hopeful imv. There was an interesting point in oct presentation around 50 where the possibilities of changes of plan are referred. Getting pepas mre doesn’t preclude Omi from expanding and at a certain point it could well be the case thst s mine build makes sense. Cnr mine build costs for 100 k oz was around $100 m
In regards to the skin in the game. Sorry, in Cnr every cash raise involved the bod buying and Mellon buying on the open market. Giving themselves extra free shares is it really aligning themselves. However sprott have ignored that general red flag which does speak volumes for the project.
All good
