@ blueskies,

First part of your question :-

"So what I was trying to ask is if the grade is higher, do you think Almonty will focus on producing a level number of 500,000 MTUs and benefit from requiring less than 1.2 million tonnes of ore to get to 500,000 MTUs so lower cost to produce 500,000 MTUs; or,"

Answer :-
No way at all, and the cost of mining production or feed rates of raw ore to the process plant will always be the same regardless of input or output.

Second part of your question :-


"Do you think they will keep the tonnes of ore relatively consistent at 1.2 million tonnes and end up with additional MTUs of Wo3 resulting in additional revenue."

Answer :-
Shilt yeah, and at the moment Almonty is mining the super high grade areas of the Hanging Wall, Main Ore Body and Foot Wall areas that has a 10 to 12 year operating life. Watch this old old video at the 1.20 minute mark :-

Inferred or proven grades I think are very conservative until more test drills are done on the other 10 or so zones of our massive lease area.
I do suspect Almonty does have some historic info on these areas, but all that has to be confirmed.

So in laymans terms for others :-
My name is Mr GTP and I want a glass of orange juice of 500,000 MTU Wo3.
Almonty has three oranges of raw ore to fill that glass, but after squeezing, only two and a half oranges were needed to fill the glass.
Do you throw away the other half of the orange ?
Do you wrap it in plastic and store it in the fridge ?
