I'll jump in there, Mr. Rowe, to talk about this particular region in northwestern British Columbia. It was really the target of...when we acquired Newcrest in 2023, Newmont saw this region in northwestern British Columbia as a place we could do business for many generations to come. We have people in our company looking 100 years down in terms of infrastructure needs and trying to understand how things are going to evolve here. The first thing is the transmission line and the road did bring those initial discoveries and led to some of the first operations, so adding in additional transmission and additional infrastructure will do that as well.
We've talked, too, about working with indigenous people, and that will be a really important component to solidifying the resource development. Essentially, how can we do that in combination and advance reconciliation at the same time?
The other thing is the geology. These ore bodies are ones that do have the copper-gold porphyries that are large enough to sustain operations for 50 or more years. We have a view at the Red Chris operation right now, for example, that you could operate there for another 50 years, though not for every single type of deposit. Chad and people who understand the geology better than I could detail that. The short term going in and exploiting smaller deposits over short amounts of time doesn't set up well, but infrastructure and investments in workforce development and training and getting large companies in, like ourselves, with over 100 years of experience in the industry and bringing the expertise to the area, can set up certain regions for significant critical mineral production over many years.
