B-Jay....about five years ago there was a member on these forums, his avatar was Herbertwiebe, and his thoughts were almost the same as yours, He put forth the notion that we should use the winter roads over the ice and blast the Hell out of the surface minerals during the next summer, stock pile it and transport the ore out of the ROF the next winter, this would give the company working capital to use the next year.
