Very hard to compare. For example, it appears that with the exception of Copper, all other base metals and Ag decreased in production even though previously it was for 2.5 months compared with the current 3 months.

Also for each of the two "qters" the co provides the amount of concentrate exported but this includes what was on hand as opposed to production in the qtr.

So a straight out comparison of costs etc would be misleading.

What is nice is that the year to date receipts from product sales and related debtors is 42.6m and the payments for production (but look at the notes for these items) is 25.2m. This is a "broad" comparison but good IMO.

It is possible that when they release the figures for SPM (after finalisation) we may be able to make a few assumptions and come up with a more objective assessment.

IMO, , ie it's all good!!
