The Mount Carbine mine had been prepared for the wet season by having an ore stockpile on a bench ready for the increased crushing capacity, limiting the effects. Yes the pumps will get a work out, isn't that why they are there?
Also the economics of the project included an allowance for the wet season. If the cyclone causes a panic amongst the short termers time to load up! Same happened in the Pilbara region a couple of years ago and managed to cash in nicely
And a 1 week event, that the management have prepared for, does not affect the economics of a 25 year mine..
