He also said that Victoria produces roughly 180,000 oz/year. They haven't produced close to that number yet so maybe he means this year?
Re Q3 of 2021 production, that was an off-quarter due to a substantial quantity of ROM ore (uncrushed ore) placed on the HLP during that quarter. That was done to impress the particiapants at the Denver Gold Forum in Sept 2021, but gold recoveries suffer from putting uncrushed ore on the pad and they discontinued that practice. So I wouldn't be using it as a benchmark for this quarter. I'm expecting something in the 42k - 45k range.
45k in Q3 and 50k in Q4 would get us close to the 180k mark for 2023.
This is what JM had to say at this year's Denver Gold Forum:
"I'm feeling really good about how the mine is running right now. We're hitting our budgets and all of our targets"
The current Mine Plan shows production of 180k oz in 2023 and 193k oz in 2024.
