What the new mining plan may entail

Here are 2 images from the 3Dgraphic
One shows the cover has been stripped away revealing the top of the ore and the sulphides in yellow are just poking out of the top of the ore.
The ore level to the right is 420m below surface , the sulphides are about 450m below surface and they’re showing the inferred next to the sulphides are lower.
I’m not too sure if that is accurate the few drill logs in that area indicate 450m from surface Had013 for instance.
The other graphic has taken a slice through showing the first 2 zones of the March 2022 mining plan.
This is the upper levels of the starter mine only involving the sulphides hardly any crackle breccia (shown in dark yellow) and cemented (blue).
This MRE for the starter mine was released about 12 months after Had013 results and the PFS 9 months later.
NB:- I feel this was rushed through to gain approval to mine.
The mine plan includes the Western, Eastern and Northern fronts with the latter shown nearest on the left, this front on the next level down disappears or retreats just leaving the Western and Eastern Fronts.
The sulphides disappear but high grade pods continue downwards.
