Ok. If the open pit is already planned to be mined (in specific areas before start of UG), then they'd have to keep going as they probably have not planned to mine both OP and UG at the same time.
The UG operation will require 3-4 months of Development work before they even get to the ore, I was hoping that they use all their manpower to get to steady UG steady state (ore producing) and parallely mine OP, this is doable. If they go into c/m by Jun 2015, if Cu prices are down then it is ok, but if its steep I see no logic in starting to develop the UG mine at that point!
