Mining and processing are different things. Mining is removing dirt. No doubt this can be done during the deep freeze of winter. However, can the mill process frozen dirt? Not sure... But they might stockpile it until the weather unfreezes. They have not mentioned anything about year-round processing, so anything that iHub posters "know" is really pure speculation. Please prove me wrong by posting a link to a sentence in a PR that reads, "PCFG will mine AND process gold gravels year-round." See signature below. $PCFG
