That stockpile is probably going to sit there for a while. Perhaps they'll chuck it through if POG appreciates and the cost/benefit ratio improves. My understanding was they were moving on to higher grade sources for processing - hence the need for drilling as the cost to process the stockpiles is too high. This is the carry over from a poor operation. They'll continue to just blend it in slowly with the higher grade stuff. The decrease in the grade of the stockpile is probably because they have resampled it, and this is the value they get now from the lab. Otherwise what happened? the gold just leached out? perhaps they need to collect all the run off from monsoon season and get that gold back?
