Projected commissioning of crushing plat--mid March due to modification and upgrades by CuDeco. This does not impact overall timelines.

Zdster,

The above is the explanation by CDU and the applied for increase in throughput from 3 million tonnes per annum to four and a half million tonnes per annum may well have been a factor..

After receiving advice,Wayne has gone for a superior system and delay is warranted.

In respect to the earlier processing of the native copper,this would have certainly been considered but it may have more practical for processing flow to wait for the processing plant to be fully up and running.

It is Wayne's objective to get the plant up and running ASAP so the failure of the normal wet season to date has been beneficial to site infrastructure and exploration.

CDU is going mining and that's what counts.
