There is ore previously delivered from their respective mining sources to a 150,000 tonne capacity stockpile where it's been re-handled and intended to be fed into the ROM (run-of-mine) crusher feed bin.
Separate smaller stockpiles exist and account for varying material hardness and grade, allowing for blending and process optimization.
