"But heavy rainfall in far Western Australia - the country's main gold mining region - has been affecting mine work and could curb first-quarter output, getting 2017 off to a slower start, according to Close"
Wiluna has recorded 12 rain days so far this quarter of which there were only 2 heavy days rain on 2 & 9 Feb, being 28.5mm and 29.5mm respectively.
I have no idea how much rain is needed to effect operations but imagine the plant would be unaffected processing stockpiled ore but the road trains on the haulage roads could be effected - does anyone know at what point the roads are likely affected by wet weather?
