Operations at Garden Well were impacted by high rainfall during two periods in late February and in March as a result of the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Rusty and a second high rainfall weather event. The high rainfall resulted in the mining and processing of wet oxide ore which significantly impacted crushing circuit throughput. This reduced mill throughput to below an annualised rate of 4 million tonnes for more than a week.
To minimise as much as possible the impact of wet oxide ore on the crushing circuit throughput during the rain affected period, ore was also mined from lower grade transitional zones where the material can be more effectively handled by the crusher.
The processing plant ran at 5.0mtpa for the last two weeks of March, once the rain related issues abated.
