.. Following on from my last missive:

I wouldn't expect ATP will wait for some multinational mining consultancy to furnish us with a pit design and mineplan at hopelessly exhorbitant rates: he'll doubtlessly do it himself and have it signed off by a mining engineer for contractors to start on ASAP. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this has already been done an mining is about to commence.

If announcements about pit design or contract mining are too menial to be released to us Joe Soaps then the next announcement may very well be that mining has commenced.

A lot hinges on the take off agreement (and mb the weather too)..

Hope this helps
