I think that 53% is the base line number that we must all use now given the results achieved using an 80% feed rate for that fortnight. Hopefully it will actually be higher. My stumbling point is your assumption that the plant can achieve those same recovery numbers when being run at 100% feed rate (minus some time when plant availability is not there). I really don't have any problem believing the company's forecasted numbers for FY15 (55KozAU and 500KozAG) - I would just be happier when I see some clean numbers from the company that are a statement of fact rather than a result of educated research.

On a related, and very important subject, I suppose that plant capacity is itself an arguing point. 200K tons per Q might just be a little light on as 100 tons per hour actually equates to 219K tons per Q. Knock off some down time for the plant and you might just be able to process your tonnage numbers at a 90% feed rate. If this were the case then I would be far happier to accept an assumed $1.3Mil of gross revenues per week.

Interesting times.
