RE:I'm missing something...
RE:I'm missing something...bosse , i ll try to help you out here hope I don't confuse you ha ha .First thing Bell Creek doesn't have a hoisting unit , therefore all ore is trucked and from the presentation shows lateral developement from the 625,640,655,670 , witch takes a truck about 20 min to come up to surface then a little less to go back down but with unloading give a round trip of 45 min for 40 tons of ore .Therefore Tony mentioned potential of upping tonage to 750 from 500 tpd witch would be 750/40 t per truck = 19 loads a day , so roughly 10 days and 10 nights , pending on the amount of hauling trucks they have that would be the picture for Bell Creek.Timmins West well I'm actualy disapointed as I was expecting as past conferences that they were suppose to mine 3,000 tpd from there alone and now they will get roughly over 3,000 tpd from both .Timmins West mines well what they mine they hoist up and the grade they get they bring over no picking and choosing there as it all determines what they go after underground , they have 6,000 tpd hoisting capacity therefore minning sequence is the issue.Therefore bottleneck is Timmins West more production needed there and or a new shaft at Bell Creek for an extra 3,000 tpd there that will be huge.Hope this helps you .Ha ha just thinking out loud am I the only fool that reads the presentation and listen to the conference calls ha ha .
