Pumping slurry is the best way and I would use this over rail and trucking, especialy in this enviorment. Seen it done in person for greater distance and I personaly think the mine plan is excellent, the mine life is acceptable especialy with the chances of finding other economic ores before the next five years is past. SNC knows what they are doing recommending this way of mining and transport. The .3-5 is not worth underground at this time but if in those 11 years nickel hits $20+ then it could be added in for that time. Every worry that anyone has will be eliminated with another 5 million tons of plus .2% graded material in the next year. I am betting on that discovery. Big question is.... does Webequie agree with the development? If so, then i hope they say so soon.
