Episode notes
Flight Full Of Mining Folks
- Alex recounts flying into Beaver Creek and seeing mostly mining people on his flight.
- He joked that some golfers on the plane wondered 'what is happening' given the mining crowd.
Stage Expansion, Not Overnight Scale-Up
- Increase processing capacity in stages to match permitting and tailings capacity rather than rushing to full scale.
- Buy targeted equipment (cone crusher, ball mills) and expand tailings storage to safely grow throughput.
Tailings Define Growth Potential
- Tailings capacity often dictates production growth timelines and requires long-term permitting.
