Unfortunately, the readily accessible, "new" ore was lower grade and the material left in the "checkerboard" was much higher grade but harder to mine. The process of filling stopes with paste uses tailings from the mill isn't cost prohibitive and actually saves the cost of extending the tailings dam (if done correctly). My feel is that the area outside the checkerboard is s bit more complex than first thought (not as simple or forgiving as the material in the checkerboard) and they went out to these areas sooner than they should have (needed better definition drilling). They also changed strategies a few times and by trying to hit the higher targets, actually put in development that wasn't required in the revised strategy.
The 5 P's of management - Propper Planning and Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance should be considered at all times.
Again, just my thoughts, DYOR
