cappy,

The Phase III drilling confirmed that the chromite zone is found at 
surface and, in places, is under less than 4 m of overburden, indicating
 it would be a likely candidate for open-pit extraction. Mineralization 
at Black Creek is dominated by three massive chromite layers, with 
subordinate amounts of banded, semi-massive and disseminated chromite 
found between and below the massive layers. The cumulative thickness of 
the mineralized zone averages approximately 65 m.
