I think it is the location of the pits
Must be an underground water table
Appears the water comes from below as well
in the wet season.
So there is no way to pump the water away.
Although I expect 20k oz extra PA will be produced
It wont be enough to make BDR profitable
Especially with gold under $1350 an oz

Sorry Col, but where have your garnered such information? As well, the plant is located in a rain forest and the rainfall pattern is very well understood by the company. Again, far easier to be on the dooms day side of views when the company has had such a shocking performance since about 2014. But then, things have changed a bit.
Local contractor that can actually complete the amount of stripping and mining required
Plant now being fed with I estimate, approx 70% of its power via the mains (much lower cost)
The plant can actually process the other half of its reserves for the first time
Pretty big differences. We will see, oh how I hope I am right though!
