@WiffaSniffa, 200 t/day is approx 17t/hr (based on a 12 hr shift).
Looking at the available info from ADG's 2022 prelim scoping study (below) it suggests the existing plant processing capacity is 6t/hr & would require a sizeable spend of at least $12M to increase the processing capacity to 32 t/hr.
GDM's cash spend on the refurb is $500k (max)....so it's a bit difficult to imagine (at this stage) that the refurbished plant will easily handle 200 t/day (17 t/hr).
I've gone a bit conservative with my estimate of 5t/hr (60 t/day) considering GDM are in the plant commissioning phase.
If the refurbished plant processing capacity turns out to be 200 t/day, it might classify as one of those extremely rare (almost impossible) lean-capex miracles IMO.
