6 months, Oh noooooo!!!

only joking yeah i think i knew that already, pity.

So it means from find to trial we will be about 2 years. Well I guess we are nearing the end of that period, which is good.

I'm surprised he is talking 20-30 years unless he knows of some extra finds we don't know of. I would have thought it was a 5 - 10 year mine given the known resources. Lets hope bob does have some pretty good ideas of where to drill, so we'll be looking at 5000 tonnes this time next year.
