Great news, but just to tone it down to reality a bit. The current drilled orebody is only down to 400m and are only resources now and not fully reserves (important distinction in mining).

The massive numbers they are talking about are extrapolating drill results down to 4500m, which is pretty crazy. But let’s say the orebody does extend to depth at regular grades, that would be the deepest mine in the world, and there are a lot cheaper options.
