OK there is definately some confusion being generated by these 2 posts. To clarify, the waste rock that was talked about in thge FS as revenue generating potentially ,but was being treated as waste due to inferred categorization, is within the known block model scattered throughout as inferred (blue).
What RT is getting to is that the North East pit wall, which has large amounts of material that have to be cleared (waste rock) to keep the slope manageable and safe, is overlying the north east chargeability which has not yet been drilled and likely is mineralized. This is indeedthe case however more likely to be mineralized at depth. If Teck is to maximize their ability to get to the high grade material at depth, beyond the pit shell of the FS, and possibly the North East mineralized material within the coinciding chargeability, then they will indeed have to rework that massive end of the pit and take out more if not the entire face of the mountain (you have to move out to move down in this scenario.
