Hey, Khareema-

Glad you said something; I was wondering the same. Heck that's *only* a factor of 28.1 difference, or 2810%. Small potatoes, right?!? To the confused folks out there: Noront reported 52 oz/ton. There are 28.1g/oz. That translates to 1,462.1 g/ton for this spectacular hole.

Noront placed the access ramp *underneath* that main hit. The reasoning is that it takes a lot more energy to drill down and lift up than to drill upwards into the ore and allow it to fall where it can be loaded into trams. I wonder if our shiny new BoD and co-CEO's have ever changed out of their suits, gone up to Windfall, gone underground to W-3 and looked *up*?
