The expansion from 90kpta to 120kpta excluding CAPEX should have actually driven AISC costs for the mine down.

The face value of these numbers is not a pretty site and one must be questioning why expansion has increased AISC.
Expand
do we know whether the expansion in infrastructure to allow for 120kpta has excess capacity that could then be used for further increases in kpta without substantial cost? if so, then the $40M cost to expand isn't as bad, but is that was the case it should've been highlighted
