RE: RE: Q3 results
RE: RE: Q3 resultsIt has always cost SanGold more to get the gold up from the bottom of the Rice Lake mine and mill it than the gold it worth. If they put the mine on care and maintanence it would probably cost them the same amount as they are losing producing the gold. Without the extra mill feed from Rice Lake, the milling costs per ton on the Hinge ore would be much higher and the mill recovery rate would go down.
Did anyone notice that they dropped the 2Q head grade from 6.79g/t (2Q md&a) to 5.82g/t (3Q md&a).
The 5g/t gold recovery they are getting on the hinge ore is about half of the grade there is supposed to be according to the 43-101.
