Assuming the ounces per vertical meter remain the same as they go deeper , diminishing returns are occurring , as :
the cost to drill gets higher the deeper they go
the date that ore is extracted from deeper down could be 6 years away
expense to mine ore from deeper down increases
Flip side as you allude to is if the mineralisation from NN somehow joins up with West Winds at depth , that would be a game changer , and agree shallower mineralisation from West Winds and Sly fox means ore to fill the mill to capacity , it also allows mining on several fronts/headings which reduces risk .
SO maybe that is where they should be concentrate drilling on later ?
