Back in Ely again

Well,

on monday i flew down to ely after being home in vancouver for 4 days, after a previous week in ely. Now im here for the next 20 days, well, as of monday. Then ill be back in vancouver for 10 days off, and i might be doing this rotation a few times.

WHY? do you ask? Well, we are looking at starting a new pit. the problem is, its actually an old pit, and we are trying to determine what is down there, and how to mine it. Myself and 2 geologists from sudbury are here with me. Luckily its super interesting, and could mean a lot for our company if we can get this working, obviously.

so, lets see, what sort of adventures have i been on since getting here. My time here has mostly been spent at my desk, figuring out initial options for mining.

Other than that, i started back up at the gym yesterday, much to my sore body’s dismay today. but i’m excited to start up a solid exercise regime again. i don’t have much else to do in the evenings.

So here are some pictures!
