Im not a share holder, so I am not interested in emailing the company. normally at PFS level study you are looking at no more than ~2 mining methods (maybe a third), the PF study hopefully pointing you towards a preferred single mining method, which is carried forward as the only mining method you study in detail during the DFS. It seems like a 'higher risk' mining method whereby cemented rock fill pillars are placed, instead of leaving behind rock has been selected (like i said, i havent really seen this done anywhere else). If the grade is that great and they want to recover the gold in what would otherwise be pillars, why dont they go for a mining method with 100% backfill, but at a much lower cement content compared to 10MPa CRF pillars?

Thanks for the insights, a little too technical for me, but hopefully things taken into consideration for the DFS. I do have confidence EGA know that they are doing, but all mining involves quite a bit of risk.
