Officially, Authier is in BAPE....

And they are a yet to make a definitive decision.

The original strategy was to use the ore from Authier, to enhance the purity of our concentrate.

The efficient mining and collection of ore from the pit, and the ROM pad stockpiling and grading has been proven to produce 6% concentrate through the plant.

The LOM has suffered, but with the pit expansion, will not be a problem, and could double from here.

Then the decision will have to be made whether to commit the capex to develop Authier.

Nothing official yet, but it is looking like the NAL super pit, will be the strategy going forward as it expands east into Vallee.
And No new mining license required, just an amendment to the existing license.

The pit growth can be organically done, as they mine east and essentially generate a cost neutral capex.
