"Get the cash flowing as soon as you can!"3 Dec 2021 09:17
Just a reminder of Sandeed Biswas's view on priorities at Havieron, as also indicated by today's Greatland Tweet diagramatic:
"Havieron... is well and truly on the fast track, because we just literally do not know the size of it yet. However,..as we are drilling more and more to get the other configurations of Havieron, our mining teams are thinking about what other options there might be for mining outside of the existing resource.
I mean, there's no question that over time Havieron will probably need more than just one mining method. You can look at the Crescent Zone...that's where the initial resource is, and we'll be focusing on more selective mining methods there...that may go a lot deeper than we think, outside of our resource, which would be great news if it does, because that means that all the capital that we're installing now, we'd be applying it over a bigger resource, should that be proved up..
Look at the other areas, which are yet to fully drilled out, you'll see that there are different shapes and also different grade profiles, which, if they prove to be contiguous, open up to some other more bulk type mining methods. So it's very much work in progress. It's really exciting.
So we've kind of, 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."
