Gopher I think you got a wire crossed in your take there. The 4.9m tonnes is ORE from the pit. The "saleable Concentrate" is in the last column and as you can see goes up to a high of 5,738 tonnes of concentrate in 2026.

Previously from the BFS there was 3 big years totalling 16068 tonnes of concentrate.
year 2 was 3016
year 3 was 5044
year 2 was 8008

Now there are 5 big years totalling 20610 tonnes of concentrate.
year 2 is 4818
year 3 is 2770
year 4 is 4456
year 5 is 5783
year 6 is 2783

Of note year 2 (2023) is 50%+ more profitable (from a quick glance) and the mine life has extended to 15 years including 5 substantial ones. This gives the company a decent chunk of money sooner than previously and a few extra years to add to the "big years". Although with the UG resource (2.4mt @1.05% for 25200t contained) and Iron Duke resource (5.8mt @0.59% for 34220t contained) sitting there ready to go it is not a big ask for the operation to be producing at solid run rates for a long time to come.
