"The deeper portions of the volume modelled and the extremities are poorly tested by drilling as a result of the sparse drilling in these areas. As such, the poorly sampled areas can only be classified as Inferred resources. Further infill and deeper drilling is required. ""
True enough, but I also remember the explanation for such "sparse" drilling was the consistency of the find and the shear magnitude of it. Indeed to be as accurate as possible more drilling would only help. Having said that, you could probably start mining this stuff tomorrow and never look back at a test drill again as you'd only have to keep blasting out the black stuff. Look at the property areas over which this stuff has been found. It's absolutely massive. But we'll keep on spending money testing, waiting, yada yada yada. It's the game, but perhaps a little over played....or perhaps played just right, depending on which side of the fence you sit. The nickel is there, the Cr is there and we know that the PMs are there too in desirable quantities ( note no one talks about that anymore....Nemis sure did.....miss talking to him.) It's clear folks that this is the real deal...it's now just a game of positioning for who is going to get what they think they deserve and by whose rules it will be played.
It's just worth too much money and the little guy never gets his just reward for playing fair.
