Hey Alb, not foresight, although I do feel on balance, I just know WGX and it's assets pretty well and obsessively read their announcements (... as much at a humble retail investor can anyway). As
@Joelstar points out, WGX has been transparent about it's challenges this quarter (most producers have been hit with weather related issues in Feb/Mar).
Plus Paddy's underground turned off and the initial 'semi' replacement Fender not at a full run rate.
@deserthead - I am all for WGX hitting 300k p.a, but.. I just don't quite see it with the U/G mines in operation or in development (very close), as the Bluebird mill is simply not being filled with mined ore, but instead stockpiles. Happy to be proven wrong though.
Perhaps in 2 years time when Big Bell Deeps hit's full production from the Caving and Deeps.
