Yes I believe they have 10M ounces of oxides at >100g/t, but obviously if they have some interesting drill results down deep makes sense to get ready to start tapping the sulphides. Of course if they get another large ball mill they will also need more power delivery options. And that means higher ongoing diesel costs. It could also be the plan to do a separate circuit for East Cobar ore which would probably be better served with a different grinding circuit than they have now as if you remember they aren't running their current setup at same rate they can for Wonawinta silver oxide ore.

Hopefully they look into solar panels and lithium battery storage (possibly with supercaps in the line) sometime this year after silver hits its run. Reduce their diesel bill and ongoing costs significantly, and just keep the generators around as a backup option. They have a very good location for solar energy input and they are cheap as chips right now. Plan for that now guys! Build your solar farm because the diesel problem is going to get a lot worse over the coming years and bankrupt many miners. Also helps the marketing of the company as "green" but the cost savings are what is most important.
