here's some of my estimates of the timeline to the date of the first pour
the concrete is probably two or three separated slabs with their relevant footings so probably three separated pours over two or three days - small team of concretors too probably
fully poured by thursday 15 July and the weather forecast looks OK
I'd allow 7 to 10 days for curing of the concrete prior to loading it with equipment so that would be to about 28th July
I'd be reasonably confident about running the equipment loaded about 2nd August
most "experts" would say commissioning taking weeks but knowing that Gekko is Rolls Royce type equipment and has been thoroughly tested by them I'd say commissioning of only a few days - but then there might be a week of fine tuning - adds up to 10 working days to about 13th August as first production date
check my dates
allow another week for building up a decent lump of dore (about 200 ounces?) prior to any announcement, or some minor unforseen delay - official first pour 20th August?
