Ann: Copper Concentrate Containers Arrive At Port Adelaide, page-3

Nice to see the critical path items being ticked off for first sales early next year.

The Quantities :

Interesting to learn that each shipment , which I imagine drives payments, contains 11,000 wmt of concentrate which is approx. 2,500 tonnes of cu. That is about

* 3.5 months production in the initial ramp up
* 2 months when the plant is running at 40% capacity
* 1.2 months when the plant is running full processing halo grades.

The Deeps :

Of course if the deeps do lift the grade at a cut off of 0.6% from 1.05% to circa 2% plant throughput would possible drop by about 0.5mt but cu production would rise to circa 40 kt of cu pa and each shipment would represent about 3 weeks production.

That size check every three weeks will have the big cup running over in no time.

Maybe not dreaming:

Worth noting that KTDD208 had a grade of 1.99% at a cut off of 0.6% with 55% more ore in the halos when the cut off dropped to 0.4%
