Thanks to you and h_rattle for your comments. A lot of good points were raised which give us some hope we might get some " under promise and over deliver " for a change. The PEA or scoping study should address whether or not the open pit approach is economically viable for a given grade cut-off. The reports I've seen do not allow for resources to be converted to P&P reserves. I believe that occurs with the feasibility study. After running the numbers last weekend I decided to buy some more shares this week at $ 0.26. I know, some people NEVER learn.
