When looking at the models note that the stope will be accessed by a footwall ramp and cross-cuts. Cross-cuts will access the stape at the 65m level overcut, 100m sub level and the 135m level undercut/extraction drifts.

All sill development will be 5 metres wide x 5 metres high, and will be excavated using mechanized equipment.

Full production will only occur once the ramp reaches the 135m level and the lower stopes are at blasting stages.

Once the ore is extracted it will be trucked 9 km to the existing concentrator at the Redstone Mine site. Nickel recoveries are projected to range from 70% to 91% according to ore grade, and are based on current mill recoveries. The average Ni recovery for the life of the mine is 88%.
