Oh, please, my belly hurts.
The drilling is at a very shallow angle to the host structures, so 4m @ 64g/t is likely to be <1m true width in a vein.
It's scavenging of Au by the VTM mineralisation. This is classic stuff, such as the Golden Mile high-Fe dolerite and other Fe-dolerites in the Kalgoorlie region, where Au preferentially drops into the Fe rich lithology. Here, it only took the structure crossing a massive magnetite horizon to drop any decent grades out. Further up section, it's NSI's.
So what's the shoot going to look like? 20m wide, 200m down plunge, 1m thick. Couple thousand ounces, if it holds together.
Have you shown on the metallurgy doll whether you can gravity recover Au from the vanadium slags left over after the grate kiln green hydrogen roast?
The tails will be in Geraldton, mate. GERALDTON. It's AVL's plan to truck it to Geraldton. You'll be running your gravity circuit on the tails in Geraldton. Given it's 3Mtpa and the Au is only in tiny portions of the main ore body, it's going to require a very keen eye to spot which bits to run over a gravity circuit.
Oh, what? You want them to truck the Au mineralised ore to Burnadolla or Meeka to run it through the CIL/CIP plant. AVL's vanadium is going to get lost, so you'll be paying the marginal cost list price to AVL to sterilise and scab their ore out the side. AVL's doing the digging, so they'll hit you for a component of the pre-strip taken to get down to your ore. That'll be a fun conversation because all this faffing around with selective digging, grade control, mine planning, don't come cheap.
It's going to affect the mine plan AVL's put in place, and any deviation too severe, new mine plan. Cheap as chips that stuff.
Simple. Easy.
Money, as they say, in the bank.
