"The 200,00 tonne increase over 6 weeks comes out to about 33,000 tonnes a week. That is half the planned mining rate."

If you read the annual report they have been moving 40 000 tonne of waste and ore per day. 33 000 tonne of that was waste because of mostly pre stripping and will reduce to the life of mine expectancy average strip ratio of 3.16:1 plus this has been achieved with half the mining equipment available. Even using your figure of 33 000 per week is 1.7 million tonne per year.
The planned mining rate is 4.5 million tonne or 12 328 tonne per day, that equals 51 286 tonne per tonne including waste with the strip ratio and as noted they are currently moving 40 000 tonne per day with half the equipment.
The plant feed will only be 3 million tonne per year but if you look at the planned mining rate of 4.5 million tonne per year by the hourly tonnage its 513 tonne per hour which is more or less what the crushing circuit is capable of.
