Your next question comes from the line of Greg Barnes with TD Securities.
Greg Barnes
Yes. Thank you, Shaun. As far as I can tell from reading through the Nevada Copper disclosure, they're looking for a funding package in the range of, I believe, around $70 million. Is that your understanding as well?
Shaun Usmar
Look, I'm not going to front run, Greg, the team on that. Look, we've been working with them. And I think our priority with the management team is ensuring that they've got the liquidity they need to get through to commercial production. So they will be putting statements out when they're ready. They've got a number of supportive shareholders.
And I just think the context for us other than the site visit that we've been on is when you look around and you saw BHP's announcement or at least stated in the known figures, it was OZ Minerals and others. You saw Metso last year. There's not a lot of U.S. copper mines with newer built underground mines and open pit projects. In this situation, they're pretty scarce and you've got nearly - I think it's $900 million or so of actual assets associated with this already. We're very constructive on copper and the copper outlook. And I think the team will find the support it needs, and we'll be part of helping them get through that.
Greg Barnes
For James then, on these higher-grade zones they're trying to get to, how far away in terms of development work required are they to getting there through this more tricky well?
James Dendle
Yes. I mean if you look at the dike crossings, there's basically three dike crossings. When we were at site, they have virtually completed one. They're partway through the second. And the third is not required imminently. But in reality, Greg, the dike crossings, whilst they have represented a challenge for the company, there's no material reason that this should represent a challenge going forward.
The dike - the actual bad ground associated with the dike is only about five to 10 feet thick, depending on the angle of the development, right? So it's not a hugely problematic zone. So it should really be a nonevent.
And then the total meters developed are pretty limited. And I haven't got a figure to hand, but the figure that I do have in mind is the development one has to do to set up all the stoping infrastructure and all the cross-cuts, which is still a fair bit of work to do. But really, there shouldn't be any impediment to setting up that East North zone for proactive mining at the rates contemplated in the study.
Greg Barnes
Okay. So timing on that, assuming they get the funding, James, are we talking six months, five months? What do you think?
James Dendle
The company is working through the engineering of that, Greg. But with the development that's ongoing, some of the additional infrastructure work that's required to complete that, I think it's going to take a bit of time. But I won't comment specifically on that timing right now. Again, I don't want to get ahead of the company's disclosures.
