The real risk with Rothsay is not going to be the gold not being there, but getting it out efficiently so the AISC doesn't blow out. I like their plan of driving wide and ore sorting and I think the team have the skills to get this mine right, but until they get underground we won't know for sure what we face. At least you are not paying much for the upside exposure at the current SP.

OK. So there is a higher risk but the average grades are high for indicated as well as inferred. I agree that AISC is important in view of the low volumes to be mined.
