Filling the Mill If a mill can do 300tpd doesn't mean they run it at capacity. That is only if the moon and stars are lining up.
There is a bunch of stuff they don't want a news release about, even if it is a normal course of comissioning a mine.
The stock pile can feed it that much, but if the recoveries are not up they will run it at a lower rate until they get it figured out. The new guy is tasked with that. Otherwise a bunch of gold runs out into the tailings. They shouldn't mill tons just for tons sake. That is what PGM was doing.
Even after they get the recoveries up to par, with only a couple of headings producing it will be difficult to produce that much high grade ore. They need to get numerous headings happening and some additional haul trucks to get the ore to mill.
The mine is procceding and will get there, just not tommorrow.
Still waiting LOL
