Producing Mines and "state-of-the-art" Mill
I still believe in the business. I look at 200 tpd and am thankful that at these prices that is all we are producing. I am hopeful that when it is time for us to be producing more the price will be better.
We still have money coming in from the Chinese ref the agreement Gary had done before. A contractor has now been hired to look after the McWatters project so Gary can concentrate his energy on the mill and other jobs.
In a few weeks time we will hear ISM's news about their resource size. I hope it will be good news for them. Their sp has gone up a little in anticipation. Some people say we have too small a resource. I look upon our resource in terms of where it came from.
Redstone Measured 274,085 tonnes at 2.64% Ni, Indicated 144,846 tonnes at 1.7% Ni > Total 418,931 tonnes @ 2.32% Ni
This year we added:
McWatters Indicated 714,870 tonnes @ 0.94% Ni, Inferred 13,829 tonnes @ 3.39% Ni
