reviewing BALABAG MINE update on TVI website....Updated photos ,as recent as July 26,2021.Interesting paragraph....
"has progressed to the stage at July 26, 2021 of feeding mineralized material from its low-grade run of mine (“ROM”) mineralized stockpile through the plant on a test basis in preparation for the commencement of continuous milling operations."
Since Balabag has "An approximate 92,800 tonnes of mineralized material is on the ROM mineralized stockpile, in-pit stockpile, and crushed mineralized stockpile as at July 26, 2021, much of which is low to marginal grade and was mined to expose the higher-grade mineralized resource during waste stripping and bench forming. The stockpiles have an average grade of 1.37 g/t gold and 47.82 g/t silver for an approximate 1.94 g/t gold equivalent at metal prices of US$1,700/oz for gold and US $20/oz for silver.
IMO with approx 6 to 7 weeks of ROM to work thru we are looking at full commissioning around Sept 6-10,2021
