When cutting threads in metal using a lathe and a die, the die has to be aligned properly on the lathe where it can only do a short run compared to a single point tool where the pitch and depth are predetermined in the setup and incrementally adjusted with several passes over a long work piece. On the other hand, if a casting comes from a die, the two parts of the die must align or be straight as a die for the casting to be successfully poured. The Steam Engine project is a short run project and if that was the only play then indeed risk needs to be minimised with a pfs to preserve cash, but the difference is IMO that extensions also revealed sound grades by the exploration geo's whose field knowledge is essential. Furthermore, two parallel systems of greater strike length have been discovered where the volume argument significantly reduces the risk argument that could be associated with a smaller deposit.

you’re reading too much into what I wrote. There’s no disrespect or negative implication toward Mssrs Hwang or Harvey. As I said, I like the project. As I also said, going through the process using current practice identifies where confidence in the data can be improved.and also identifies potential geological extensions in a quantitative manner. There’s a thread “Open Pit Mine Depth” where I did my best to describe current practice from me sella en la Cantina de Toro a couple of years ago. Have a look at that.
