It was over a year ago, but you may recall that it was not, in my opinion, a profitable idea to truck unprocessed ore 2200 kilometers from Stump to Sandon. Trust me, I drive the route. If a profit is to be made in B.C., it will be made from new discoveries there. If a profit is to be made from Stump, it would seem the route is to work something out with the Chinese, who are buying up everything else in the Stump area.

Having said that, if they actually gained some valuable metallurgical knowledge about processing the ore with a traditional mill, then it may be worth it. A number of companies have profitably started mills rolling without NI 43-101 feasibilities.
