RE:New,important and upgraded production info on that latest Alpha piece
Article: go from processing 600 tons of ore per day tp/d to 1,000 (1K tp/d) in June/July,
NR: During the month of June 2013 both the mine and the mill have regularly achieved or exceeded the initial target production rate of 600 tpd, with the mill reaching a high of 1,000 tpd during the month.
Article: ultimately shooting for annualized throughput up to 3K tp/d
Aug Presentation: planned future capacity 2500tpd (pg 6)
Article: 3K tp/d. At that rate, using a conservative grade of just 8 op/t Ag output could mount to (8.6M oz. Ag) per year.
Aug presentation: 6.3M oz per year at 2500tpd (pg 6)
Article: new milling and processing equipment is scheduled to continue arriving through end of Q3 this year that will, after installation, set the mine to a commercial production rate of 2K tp/d by year-end.
NR: Two more new tailings filter presses of the same design and capacity have been manufactured for Shafter. They will be shipped and installed over the next three months, enabling a processing capacity of 1,500 tpd.
Article: 2014 should be a good year. If the company can realize 6K tp/d throughput, with its high ore grades, a combined output from Shafter and La Negra could total more than 12M op/y Ag.
Aug presentation: 2014E Capacity 7.5M oz - Identified growth potential 10.0M oz (pg 5)
