"As for being open-pittable - no is the short answer. LDM is a shear zone".

FYI...the copper workings that contain the 5% copper are completely above/beyond/outside the shear zone and are considered open-pittable by all experts that have reviewed the project. It is true that the gold shaft in the shear zone will likely remain an underground operation for the short term but there is nothing in the geometry of the mineralized structures that will prevent it from being potentially open-pitted as well especially since the mineralized structures appear to merge into additional mineralization that exists on the hillside above it. Short term drilling that will occur at the LDM will be able to show exactly what is/isn't possible.
