Total planned mine production from Redstone is 259,900 tonnes at 1.04% Ni mined at an average production rate of 500 tonnes per day, five days per week from Jan 2010 through February 2012. (p 113)
"Liberty drilled 688 drill holes from surface and underground to an average drill length of 82 metres. The underground drilling was fanned in multiple orientations and angles from four underground collar positions. These holes targeted massive sulphide intersections below historical and current workings, typically achieving drill intercepts within the range 250-800 metres below surface. The deepest Liberty hole from surface achieved a drill depth of 1,350 metres below surface. It is evident in Figure 16 (p50) that drilling at Redstone becomes sparse with depth. Drilling during 2007-2008 achieved intercepts in the depth range of 900 to 1,200 metres below surface, which addressed a gap in the historical database. It is the opinion of SRK that the drilling strategy and pattern have produced an adequate drill density to construct resource models for this style of mineralization."(p49)
