I'm missing something...

Looking at the October production at a rate of 3500 t/d I understand that they had a reserve to go full speed .Would it not be possible to add more trucks to bring more ore from Timmins West with the best possible grade ?
I understand too, that they are limited with the hoisting capacity and lower grade at Bell Creek and the mix is roughtly 25%from Bell Creek   and 75% Tiimmins West.Do we have to understand that they can not increased the feeding from Timmis West ?
Where is the bottleneck not to be able to produce at the October rate?
I'm realy missing something!!!!
May be Idelfreebird could elaborate on that matter.

Idelfreebird ,Very good explanation on the operaion .At Bell Creek it looks to me quite an exhautive work to bring 40 tons of ore at surface and time taken for a cycle.This demonstrate clearly the necessity to built a new shaft to go deeper and accelerate the flow of ore at surface . As far as Timmins West is concerned I understand the mining sequence issue but it surely  might be
