Q2 production numbers probably next weekQ1 ran 18k ounces, vs 62-68k yearly guidance.
In Middlemiss's April talk, he said the 62-68k 2018 guidance was based on a mine plan where they ran 15k Q1, 15k Q2, 18k Q3 and 18K Q4. The reason for the difference was that WDO would begin mining that folded-back 300E lens structure in the H2. However, Eagle is already out-performing guidance, because guidance assumed a grade of 10.1-10.5, but Q1 headgrade was 12.2 g/t.
In other words, likely to run 18k ounces Q2, or 36k for the half. Possible guidance may be lifted to 78k for the year.
BTW, 300E runs 20 to 50 g/t ( https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/e15b26b3-a908-4199-bd31-441253d796eb ), 155 meter strike length, and is known to run at least 250 meters vertical, open at the ends.
