Ann: Annual Report to shareholders, page-4

These guys are read wordsmiths

"costs of production have increased due to higher mining costs"

Well, at least the increase in AISC was not due to some inflation on the local hookers.

And what does this mean: "variable processing costs increased due to increased plant throughput."

Does that mean we paid more for processing overall because we did more processing overall?

Fair dinkum... I have said before, I bet these guys cannot even work out their weekly shopping list at Brazilian Coles.
