Yes VYR, I was thinking along the same lines.
The only thing I can add is the Vale trial is already at depth , ie not creating a decline but actually mining.
Could there be a significant difference in the tunnel size required and hence the rate of lineal metre progress ?
Who is operating the machine?
Is all the excavated rock going to waste?
If the trial ticks all the boxes do we have continued access to the MC 51?
How many exist, how much do they cost or is it an operator and machine hire deal only going forward?
Aghhhhh, so many questions
