The great thing is, that although the mining plan may change, and probably will more, as we go along, we don't need to worry too much about selective/block mining right now. We have those options available over time.
What we do know for sure, and as Sprott state again in yesterday's note, "...drill bit de-risking continues on the deeper portions of the high-grade SE Crescent that is mineable before any block cave is considered". is that we want to get the cash coming in first, and there is no doubt that we're speeding towards that even faster now...
Sandeep Biswas was already very clear on this, some time back: "...but the focus is get those high grade tonnes from the crescent zone into Telfer, as soon as we possibly can, while we're working on what the entire deposit looks like. It's really exciting. It's work in progress. Get the cash flowing as soon as you can. That's always my principle."
And, 'doubled up by Shaun Day: "Havieron just continues to give, and that's all part of delivering, firstly, the start up mine, as the SE Crescent, tailor made for our balance sheet - Drive in, get into production, move that high grade ore through the mill and generate free cash flow, but then to re-invest into the broader Havieron opportunity. It's brilliant to work on an ore body like this."
