Yeatesy,

I sort of agree with you given that the wet season always leads to 1st qtr being at the lower end of production levels.

See exert from announcement dated 10.01.17:
ILS Pond Reinforcement of the Intermediate leach Solution (ILS) pond has been completed (refer ASX announcement 25 October 2016) allowing production to be resumed at nameplate operating levels. As previously reported, the Company plans to construct a new ILS pond after the end of the wet season.
EW Expansion–Debottlenecking Update
The debottlenecking capital works program to expand the Kipoi plant’s nameplate production capacity to 32,500tpa has now been completed. The coffer dam, a smaller dam contained within the larger dam which comprises the new Tailings Storage Facility (TSF-3), has been commissioned. This provides sufficient capacity to allow full production through the new tank leach (TL) facility for the duration of the wet season. Laying of the HDPE liner to the larger TSF-3 dam surface has been deferred until the dry season. Commissioning of the TL facility is underway. Sufficient slimes material, being the copper bearing residues contained in the existing TSF-1, have been recovered to support tank leach production through the remainder of the wet season.
