The weather had a pretty big impact for jundee, flights cancelled, roads destroy and i believe most of the ore from Ramone wouldn't have made the trip even though it's close at least not for a few days . it had already rained 2 weeks before to the point where everyone got flown out of mount keith for the majority of that week. During that week fuel and supplies were unable to come into site because of the condition of the road leading into jundee

it doesn't take much to the flood the plant area, but a lot of people were doing extended shifts and were exhausted so the moral was low.

The oil price has gone up too, food is ridiculously expensive. Not to mention transportation costs and industry costs, i have seen quotes for jobs that would normally cost 1/10 of the price but due to inflation and the "mining" company cost vendors can charge that much and get the order filled.

these are just some of the things we are facing at the moment, for obvious reasons - i will stop there and we will see what the details are soon.

i will say one thing, northern star has always been a business first.

i look forward to see what we can do with a higher gold price.
