Uk You are making assumptions. A land based operation can be fed many ways. You can pump gravel to it using the same pump system that SGCP has on one of its larger dredges. The difference is the tailings go to land not back into the river. All operations require water.
Don't get me wrong, I hope it's a very successful JV for SGCP. I just find it hard to believe that they can come in fresh as a new venture and start processing on a new concession and begin making money right away when Sierra hasn't been able to in 4 years. I do realize that they aren't dealing with farming, and kiri trees and all that other stuff. jmho
