throwing ya toys out of the cot, page-2

I agree, so lets play with the toys we do have. Dry screening via the crushing plant and the 200 tph ore sorter about to be delivered are the options until the process plant is commissioned. Its estimated that 25% of the native copper is a size greater than 40 mm which can be dry screened. 77% of the copper in the native copper zone is accounted for as native copper and the rest sulphide from the results of the bulk test so in theory for a feed grade of say 5% Cu the crushing circuit at 500 tph could scalp off 4.81 tonne of copper per hour or 808 tonne per week 24/7 with a refined value of $5.6 million using $7000 per tonne. Obviously that dollar value changes with the grade.
