"I think there is some lower grade material down deeper."
Just the opposite at Schaft Creek. Thats why its important to engineer the pit such that the walls can be farther out to facilitate deeper mining, as Elmer has stated, in his honest opinion, that the grades improve at greater depths. SC is only like 10-15% of the "district" Teck now owns/controls as a result of the JV. Port Facility, NTL, maybe even promising property in Miami, Arizona? Loonie teetering @ C$.80, etc, etc, etc,. Someday the market will get wind of this & then its off to the races. There won't be enough shares to go around! What a wonderful problem for the shareholders ?
The loyal longs all know this ! Where ya at Vette? Generaledger? Chappy?
