Analysis...
With the last Lake Shore Gold's preliminary 2013 operating cost and the today's TD Securities Mining Conference, lots of interesting informations must be noted:
Summary of the 2013 production:(Ounces)
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 ToTal
Timmins West 18700 24200 22600 41600 107 100 80%
Bell Creek 4500 6600 6300 10100 27 500 20%
Total 23200 30800 28900 51700 134 600
Looking at the 2013 production summary,it is obvious that they will have to increase the output from Bell Creek.From the Q1 to the Q4, they have already more than double the output from 4500oz in the Q1 to 10100 oz in the Q4 .
With the information in the TD Securities Mining Conference,we see that the 10100 oz Q4 productio number from Bell Creek comes from 62000 tons at 5,3 gr/ton and the grade looks to me very promising but the ore supply is only 680 tons/day comparehe to 41600 oz coming from 259 000 tons at 5,2 gr/ton or 2846 tons/day from Timmins West.So the total daily production number is 3526 tons/day and the supply is 19% from Bell Creek and 81% from Timmins West.
It is the first time I see such a good grade from Bell Creek (5.2 gr/ton) and I find it very promising but a they will have to focus on how they will do it because the blend 81/19 is not the best, but for now acceptable.
For now we all understand that there it is a must to work on the balance sheet but I am pretty sure they are working on a scenario and drawings where they would built a shaft right under the mill at Bell Creek and to increase the production to 5500 t/day.
In summary ,lots of good news to come
