Pebble Mill PinionReliable 'boots on the ground' tell me that mill production's been down since about Nov. 26 - 27th, damaged / busted pebble mill pinion.......no spare pinon onsite, spare pinions are typically 6 month del'y lead time when the customer can pay fabrication milestones.
Also no spare jaw crusher wear parts onsite, ltd. pump part spares in stock etc. etc.
Two pours to date, 7 & 10 kgs.
Current temp. -20 deg. C, forecast -35 deg. C, if the mill doesn't get up and going in short order it's game over for the winter.
Not a Merry Christmas for shareholders or the 250 employees including contractors who work at Laiva.
