So me guessing again !
If i look at Goodthanks comments.
Stockplies
1. The approximate tonnage of the stockpiles is ~70,000 tonnes, with a range of 52,214–87,023 tonnes.
2. Using the mid-range tonnage estimate, the stockpiles contain approximately 2,251 ounces of gold at a grade of 1 g/t. Accounting for the tonnage range, the gold content is between 1,679–2,798 ounces.Final Answer: Approximately 2,251 ounces of gold, with a range of 1,679–2,798 ounces.
Average: 69,618 tons @ 1 g/t = 2,238 Oz @ 90% recovery for 2,014 Oz.
Laterite
The i look at the laterite material potential : 759,000 @ 0.7 g/t = 17,081 Oz @ 90% recovery = 15,373 Oz
I'm using 31.1035 conversion to troy Oz.
So potential early cash flow is the combination of stockpiles (ave: 69,618 tons) and laterite material (759,000 tons) for 828,618 potential tons available for toll treatment in 2025 ?
So what we don't know is the Barto Mill spare capacity / year and willingness to toll treatment.
If Barto has 300,000 tons / year spare capacity then 828,618 tons would take 2.76 years to process.
If Barto has 500,000 tons / year spare capacity then 828,618 tons would take 1.65 years to process.
Now the problem i think ?
What does TG6 do with the JORC 2012 other 5,594,000 tons of ore in the Van Uden pits that if i assume Barto Mill has no more spare capacity that potential above ??
Edna May what some 140 - 170 km away from Van Uden and in care and maintenance - 1.1 g/t ore I'm not sure would be profitable ???
Mmmm HRZ Lake Johnston Mill (1.5MTPA) but would need to be converted from Ni to Au - ???
Mmmm MM8 Cosmic Boy only 50km away but will need conversion from Ni to Au - but years away for toll treatment if MM8 get the Cu/Au conversion done i think ???
Or does TG6 do a heap leach with ore size -5mm lower CAPEX cost and OPEX costs with approx 70-75% recovery typical - ???
Any thoughts ??
