CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
My point was that Stewart can't handle the volume and that it will need to be expanded. It may be a factor in going from 130,000 to 180,000 tons per day (or more). If you knew the facility you would understand what I mean.
35 truck per day on that highway is a huge amount of traffic and you are kidding yourself if you believe otherwise. Have you been on the highway? It is being addressed as part of the EA. Ministry of Transportation are aware of the issue as well. It is addressed.
You have to consider the flows from other mines using the road. Besides at the end of the day Schaft Creek will likely use the pipeline proposed at Galore to ship their concentrate.
Don't get me wrong none of this won't be overcome. The port is expandable, they will need to load ships faster and more efficiently. They will have more then Schaft Creek as a client remember.
