    Dave, if you are a local I'd suggest you look at the grades pulled from the Mt G area and perhaps Maitland, too.

    Yes, CSD has locked in the tin (that's what the consolidated part of the name means - join tin mines), however the Kagara leases have, and will demonstrate once drilling results are in, huge resources of copper ore and polymetallic ore.

    Do you know why the ore from Surveyor was blended on a 3-1 mix with Mt G ore?
    It's simple; a plant has a maximum grade production capacity. Anymore zinc in the ore is wasted (dumped as slag, unless cost beneficial to retreat, which in most cases is negative). So to get that sweet spot, they need to reduce (yes, reduce) the percentage of zinc in the ore, hence diluting with other ore.

    Go to Mt G and you'll see the slag on the side of the plant; it's a historical site but I think from memory it has a grade of around 10%.

    At the moment, the amount of zinc we are producing is about 75% of total metal and this ratio should continue (or increase) in the next couple of years while the zinc price goes crazy (before the rebalance begins).

    I look forward in hearing about your journey and findings.
