RE:RE:Ramp Up.From blueskies :-
"Can you confirm, if the grade is higher than expected, (which Lewis has mentioned before by saying they were pretty conservative on grade in the studies), is the higher grade more likely to result in a the 640,000 growing or the ore needed to get to 640,000 shrinking and thus reducing mining costs?"
I cant confirm anything on grades, but if it is a conservative estimate, then most likely it is higher.
A buffer zone of some sorts until all mineral areas are mapped out in full with drill tests ???
Please remove 640,000 tpa from your mind as this has no impact on grades and this is a 1,2 mil tpa process plant as it was designed for, at a minimum.
Possible to max out at 1.6 to 1.8 mil tpa with some tweaks.
It is always better to over design a bit, than to descover you missed the mark and need more than you have already built.
Thanks for the thanks.
