IMO, the 171M tonnes of Inferred waste is the big elephant in the room. I don't think management did a very good job of explaining what and where this is and why we didn't drill & prove it up to sufficient confidence to make it a positive to the BFS vrs a big negative.
171M tonnes at 2.64 Tonnes per cubic metre is 64,772,727 cubic metres. If this were one perfect cube, it would be 402m x 402m x 402m in size. Not a small volume of material.
I don't understand how we didn't look at the resource block model in relation to the new mine plan this summer and realize we had this inferred blob sitting like a dead weight on our Measured and Indicated and the economics of our FS.
We heard a lot of how our BFS needed to be 'perfect' and that warrented the delays. I wasn't expecting that mineralization that we knew about and within the mine plan would be left to retard our study while drills sat relatively idle.
