Von the clarification was wrt the target of having X amount of gold in a high grade open pit. It was not a clarification about the MRE upgrade we received today. You have crossed wires my friend between the work and timeline for upgrading the MRE and the forecast about obtaining a high grade open pit. There is nothing cryptic about the announcements by BRB except for those that lack understanding about gold exploration underpinned by a little bit more knowledge of geology above Geology 101.
One can now see that BRB have commenced a PFS and that is what is needed before a company can announce an Ore Reserve. The initial Ore Reserve Statement will tell us how much gold is going to be an a high grade open pit. That is why the ASX sort clarification from BRB.......... because further studies needed to underpin such a prediction/forecast/estimate.
