McWatters
Work flow – set up for blasts – blast – take it all away –
Done between 2 days
3 sills 1st 65 metres 3rd sill 130 m vertically – 2nd sill somewhere in between
Preproduction ramps up each time a sill is completed – Sep we could be 500 to 800 tpd (higher grade than 0.7% because sill 1 would be in production
2nd sill may not be mined right away
From feasibility study – Upper zone 0.72% Ni – They expect to see between $1 – 1.5 million dollars from it. McWaters development cost was about $1.6 million dollars – so it offsets a good part of the development costs.
Where are we now ? 31 metres vertically -34 metres to go
