    This cross section seems to show Quarts (the hill) and A-East (the deeper bit).

    - It appears that Quartz has already been mined a bit (Pit Outline purple line). But then we lost mining access to it? I don't know.
    - A-East had a lot of stripping in its early mining. But then it became very consistent at depth. There's more ore beneath that 2013 pit depth, but less impressive than previously.
    - A and Quarts both look reasonable from this diagram, but Quartz being shallower (saving fuel and equipment quantity?) and not needing dewatering.

    From this diagram, quartz seems better. A has some ore waiting to be reached, but with more stripping to get at it (blue dotted line).
    - Quartz seems to show the pit design extending very far North. Why? To remove the mountain to get at Quartz at depth? I don't see ore (>0.5g/t) up in that North section.
    - There is more ore directly below A-East too (not pictured in the diagram above, but it would appear as purple at -100m. Can be confirmed from the prior cross section, but it becomes less consistent at depth).
