Careful!  The RVR is set on the West Coast of Tasmania, and you know how
they (used to) feel about "Greenies" and others who stand in the way of
"Progress" down there! ;-)

It certainly will.  Thats the only way that we can go from Point A (Bottom
Points) to Point B (Devlins) and get a shallower grade, unless you know
special maths that allow us to get a shallower grade in the same distance as
we have now ;-)

Should be about another 6m longer that now, if my calculations are correct
(which up till now, they haven't!)
