The Good:
- The BFS is complete! Props to Elmer for pushing to get this done this year
- Good capex
- Good mine life and good level of Resources converted to Reserves
- Lots of expansion options
- Good improvement opportunities (waste rock)
The Bad
- The economics are quite weak
- Sustaining capital has jumped quite a bit
The Ugly
- Our environmental application got kicked from 2012 to maybe Q3 2013. This is a critical path item that delays our start up by that much as well.
- Full production is not until 2020. This is hardly the turn key mine we were promised. The BFS reads more like a guideline than a solid path forward. Lots of uncertainties.
