1. The plant refurb was completed in March.
2. No one said stripping wasn't required, but it's also not a 9 month long exercise especially in a previously mined area. Plus it can be staged.
3. Anyone with an IQ above 12 knows that overburden doesn't go into the plant and at no point did I suggest that's what you would do unless of course you can prove to me that gold grows on trees or in bushes.
4. Costs are relatively the same as the crusher wasn't idle, it had been running at a rate of 3Mtpa. Your argument would make sense if it wasn't being used, however it was as posted earlier.
5. obviously it's going to wear, it's part of the process. there are also screens early in the process so you don't send boulders through your circuit. that's a pretty quick way to ruin everything.
