Lots of time to twiddle one's thumbs, so here's a good link to Tetra Tech's Consulting and Studies for Mining and Minerals. The AJAX report outlines what is involved in a comprehensive FS and there are some other good reports and interviews. Worth checking out ... while we wait ... interesting that TT is working on 250 studies for companies this year globally - lots in the cue (not all from the Vancouver office of course, but the Van office works on overseas projects too). Our number must be coming up soon.
Cheers, and have a good weekend.

Oh, and the report on the new HPGR technology as a cheaper alternative to a SAG mill makes me wonder if Elmer, or the design engineers, might not be able to pull some magic with the opex (which affects payback time with cheaper operating costs). We will have to see.
