commissioning I understand the commissioning of stage 2 is going 'like a bomb'. Reports are that the plant is pretty much up to speed, all that's holding up full production rampup is not the plant but a shortage of trucks to feed it. They can't strip fast enough.
Repercussions apparantly, from that mining contractor bankruptcy. Months ago I mentioned there was reported a shortage of trucks in Africa due to so many new mining developments going on, seems they are still having some trouble getting all the equipment they would like.
AVM sourced replacement equipment and bigger trucks back in June/July, from several sources. It seems they need even more, hence the forecast of full production in November.
