Your posting is excellent and until Noront come out and say what their intentions are it's as good a baseline as any. 50,000 tonnes split between 3 zones (love to see 25,000 tonnes bulk out of each zone) should generate some interest if grade is halfway decent.
There are some sweet spots in those zones so grade, even with the barren rock that alway goes with good stuff, should be high.
Assay results for core samples was fantastic but tough to mill tonnage anywhere close to assay on narrow core. Does anyone have an example of mill results from mining where high grade core indicate high grade? My only experiance was with VCG many years ago and mill results was way lower than what the core assay might lead one to expect.
