via Bing Maps - Komis

I had thrown out the following maps, simply because it was all a little too much. But then, on reflection, I pulled them back out of the trash because they so prove my point. Its because I don't believe what I stumbled across.

For the very longest time, I had misgivings about the disappointing size of the Komis deposit, but the following map suggests that we only have the merest fraction, only piecemeal details. That, in fact, a larger deposit exists.

Its the same misgivings that I had about the Roy Lloyd mine. Why would anyone bother? We have found out that the company will now move laterally within the Bingo deposit, that there are more ore shoots to be mined, thus it is bigger than they have pointed out. I think its' the same with the Komis deposit, that we have scant few details on the actual scope of this project.

You can see how the Komis deposit is perhaps outlined by a road that goes around it, and that at the northwest end of the deposit, there is a drill shack or drill pad visible on the road noting its extremity, while the portal has been closed at the south east end.

Immediately beneath the deposit, you have Round Lake with tracks through the bush futher south of the lake. This would denote glacial till sampling, so it also further defines the extent of the Komis deposit, as these tracks south of Round Lake conform exactly with the extent.

I put in a line representing the Rhyolite part between Komis and EP. (not exact) You can see on the map how almost the entire proposed Komis area has seen some ground preparation as well. The area seems to be missing its trees in an area that is thickly forested.

Pulling the historical files was utterly rash. SMDI files still exist as cached pages on Google. These files can be uncovered, but you need to search appropriately:

Of course, I can't be entirely certain whether all this is actually correct. There are no indications anywhere in the historical files, or in the technical reports. This one detail is, in fact, missing. A great deal of emphasis was placed on the restricted size of the Komis deposit. I actually don't believe this information myself.

If I'm wrong, then the mine only exists between the eastern shore of Round Lake and the former mine portal. That would seem entirely futile to expend so much effort for only so small a mine. The works clearly extend beyond that.

The company has withheld information before, so why not this aspect as well?
