The words that jumped out to me are completing, finalizing, refining, and strengthening. It seems that we are always in the process of fine tuning. Never quite enough to be satisfied.
At least more drilling is new.
- Completing geotechnical analysis and updating the structural geology interpretation to inform the 2022 and 2023 geotechnical program scope to identify opportunities to further decrease the Life of Mine strip ratio and strengthen base case overall pit slope design criteria. Completing rock geochemistry analysis to confirm the scope of the 2022 field program.
- Finalizing metallurgical test work contract to process samples from the 2021 and 2022 drilling program.
- Refining the 2022 environmental baseline data collection activities to reflect the updated project configuration and current regulatory requirements.
- Strengthening our 2022 engagement plan with the Tahltan Nation.
