No environmental issues. The property is covered by a planted Eucalyptus forest.
Topography is favorable to a low-cost bulk-tonnage open pit mine.
The “ore” is hydrothermally altered and weathered over 100m depth. No blasting is required.
“Wedow Jr (USGS, 1967): “The bulk of this material should be highly amenable to large scale open-pit development because of its near-surface occurrence and its highly decomposed, lateritic condition.”
