As quoted in the market news:
The plan is to develop the property, which is estimated to cost about $150-million, using a staged approach. This would be in keeping with the company’s previous experience in developing the Santa Elena mine, by starting out with a smaller operation to generate free cash flow, before upgrading to a larger production profile at a later stage.
