Of course they can keep mining and stockpile on ROM pad. The run rates have not been nameplate yet so capacity is there when back in production to run Mill nameplate rates. The two weeks initial downtime will be to either get specialised welders up to carry out work or maybe even hotsotting to Perth/ Darwin for repairs. The other 4-6 timeframe is to procure/ manufacture new plate. This will prob come from Europe as most of these types of filters are out of Europe.



PAN is not down all this time there is runtime between repair and replacement as can be read from Ann. During the replacement this should tie in with normal Mill shut down timeframe for liner replacement s9 that replacement and Mill shut down will be simultaneous.



A birthday on filter press wouldn't go astray as looks fairly corroded.



They are many of these units throughout the Goldfields and are pretty reliable if they get their clean down each shift and keep up lube schedule. Normally a 5 year refurb happens but I dare say this has not occurred since installation.
