"Its like waiting for father xmas. Hope the presents are quality."

Gets my vote for post of the day.

For all the around and around in circles/ over and over statements on 98% & 99.5%.
I for the life of me cannot understand why it takes so long to fathom it's not the ability to get to these figures but the cost to get to these figures that people don't understand.
Simples... lower grade deposits... more material needs to be processed to a get to a set tonnage (end product) output.
Higher grade deposits... less material needed to be processed to get to a set tonnage (end product) output.

If your processing more raw material to get the equivalent end product... Guess what it will cost more.
Simples

The same applies to having similar grade deposits that have different impurities that then changes the process flow sheet.. Some impurities are harder to remove therefore more cost.
Guess what that's what's included in PFS and further studies. Simples.
I think its been said a million times, we all want the quality deposits/projects to move to productive mines.
The continue stone throwing over the fence is or must be just for entertainment purposes only as it serves no help to encourage new holders in.. Sorry I do totally respect some/most of the posters I'm referring to but how long can we see the same ole same ole
