re the Siana project restart.......Similarly, operating expenses at Siana have only been offset in part by the sale of dor containing Au and Ag since the commencement of the soft-commissioning phase; such costs and revenues in the past would have been deferred until commercial production is achieved but are now included in the income statement following amendments in IAS 16.
TVIRD has progressed with rehabilitation of the plant to the stage that soft commissioning commenced on December 9, 2022 and is continuing. As of June 30, 2023, 420 kilograms of dor containing 4,752 ounces of Au and 8,457 ounces of Ag have been smelted and a total of 315 kilograms of dor containing 4,350 ounces of Au and 5,490 ounces of silver have been shipped through the period of soft commissioning.
