Hi again! - really bit condescending don't you think? - if you answered both questions in the original post - I would not have had to ask for the second answer at all- I was never referring to the open pits it is low grade rubbish- The whole essence of this operation was to blend high grade ore originally from Golden age with low grade to create a profitable operation but to date that has not happened You keep referring to
"I do not think their open pit mine plan ever talks about much over 1.6g over life of mine."
Yes I agree but go back and read what I have posted above .
Now you refer to high grade stock piles well :
Well below was announced in December 2016
The mill head grade progressively increased over the quarter as the open pits deepened but only a small quantity of Golden Age was processed during the quarter. Most of the Golden Age development ore mined to the end of December (grading 4.9g/t) was stockpiled for processing and as such the mill feed grade profile is expected to increase over the March quarter.
That has not worked at all has it?
Now read
Operations First gold pour was achieved in the 3rd week of October 2016 and practical completion for the plant refurbishment was achieved by both the SMP and E&I contractors in November. During the quarter, Blackham continued to ramp up Stage 1 production. Quarterly gold production totalled 8,773oz ............with 4,894oz produced in the month of December. Management have now declared commercial production from the Matilda/Wiluna Operation
Sounds so much like....I will say it again just in case you brushed over the last paragraph because you didn't have time (see below).
December is such a GREAT Month for BLK it is in the latest announcement Si ID says but didnt work out in the December 2016 announcement did it?
137kt of high grade ore @ 1.6g/t mined from M4 and Galaxy pits during December, with a total of 8,038oz of gold mined for the month being marginally less than the entire September quarter. - see 2nd paragraph of below -
ID (being icy Dr) Said - I really don't have time to go into it more or argue about it, sorry if it is not sufficient explanation to answer your question. If you or others do not agree or follow then it is up to each to walk away.
Another condescending response especially when you knocked me and at least I apologised -Well i don't either (have the time) so lets wait and see how this plays out and if it goes into VA or fails in another way - trust me I will be the first to rub your faces in it.
