A Sulphide orebody does not have to be treated by Barra, the ore can be carted to Kambalda only 1 hour by road to the BHP Nickel Mill and then refined at the Nickel smelter only 40 Km from Kambalda, BHP already has toll treatment agreements with other operators in the area, for example Mincor. A very low cost Capex is achievable with a sulfide Nickel orebody at this shallow depth due to the extensive local experience dealing with sulphide nickel orebodies, you have to know that within the Widgie dome there is dozens of High grade Nickel orebodies and at least 8 functioning Nickel mines with at least 2 of them running for nearly 30 years, although it is only early days with this orebody, experience tells me that it could be a significant deposit. i remember working at Lanfranchi Decline in 1989 and being told by management that we had a 4 year mine life, Lanfranchi since that time has only been closed for a very brief period and currently has more than 4 years mine life, thats the way nickel operations seem to work, they are the gift that keeps on giving. 2 drill holes are without doubt,nothing and nowhere on the radar for serious investors who dont know how the Widgie Dome works, I do and i'm in, I love the grades and am happy to watch this unfold, all the best...Jules
