Hi Proofreeder

"Punitaqui reached the 3000tpd operating rate in Q2 2008 – grades at 1.2% Cu" is stated in the May update under "Improvement by the end of 2008"

I think the current quarter will start targeting higher grades but April may have been more of the same as last Q.
Probably why Sept Q was mentioned as it will be a full 3 months production at higher grades as can be seen in AGM diagrams of where the stopes are currently at.

Mike Fisher mentioned at the AGM that infill drilling has produced some good results as can be seen from the diagram from AGM of just one hole at 305 level(C8-06-8) returning 15.92m @ 1.90% cu which is easily accessable to the current stopes and will add to the resource base.
