I do not profess to be a Geo or an Engineer but I am having a difficult time accepting a first time post that makes an assumption that we have 9.0MT.
Don't get me wrong, I more than most would love nothing more than to have the 43-101 for DE1 to be 9.0Mt. I just don't see it.
geoprof, you apparently have been in the mining industry for over 38 years which by a longshot trumps my mining experience of zero years.
All that I ask for the benifit of the board would be for you to qualify your assumption of 9.0MT.
If your response unconditionally alleviates my suspicion, I will refrain from posting any further pertaining to grades or tonnage. I will leave that to the more qualified.
Sincerely,
