Just my estimations, but imo, the mill is 95% finished with most, if not all of the major infastruture/systems in place. Conveyor belt system still needed but scheduled and will be in place very soon. Work in the back part of the mill is still needed such as floatation equipment for other metal recovery etc. This area is the biggest area for work but can be quickly taken care of. Electronics/control room will be the final piece then hooking up all the connections. BTW, I will post a pic of the power poles..... 7 miles worth w lines going in the next couple of weeks; doesn't sound like much but it is a VERY, BIG DEAL.
Production is still going on as far as excavation, discovery, stock etc. However, with the financing delays, imo we're looking at mid-end of September now. But I'm looking at it this way, most of us have built a home or know what it takes to build a home...a few delays, problems, changes, etc. etc. and it usually takes time...up to 6 months or more (I know someone who had a custom home built and it took over a year.) We have a completely customized, $40m plant to build and delays are to be expected. Last September I saw the mill as a steel shell w no infastructure in place; here we are less than a year later and we are almost complete. We are still within a window thats realistic.... That's what keeps me going....
