G'Day Olde-Fella -Lot of adjustments occurred to the processing plant in late Feb -this would have resulted in down time . Extract previous Ann “We are still identifying and implementing improvements at Cascavel. The Company needs to complete these to be able to reach break even operational levels in Brazil, and we are continuing to work diligently to implement these changes as quickly as possible. As part of this process, there have already been some important changes at site, including the addition of consultant metallurgist, Rob Riggir, to oversee all processing operations from ROM to gold room, which has allowed COO Richard Crew to focus on the mining and the corporate affairs of the Company in Brazil.
Extract from today's Ann. This stoping ore is now being processed at the processing plant at Cascavel after previous period of development to prepare for a period of increased production. I am looking forward to seeing if we can increase gold output in the near term as we have now commenced the processing of stoping ore from the Level 7 Mestre vein. This should reduce the amount of mining dilution we experienced while we were mining the Mestre vein when completing the slot raises between level 7 and Level 6 to prepare for commencement of stoping.”
