G'Day Jim SJB & others interested
Why would we assume tonnage through-put to have been accurately reported ATT when
the reported mill feed g p/t was 2.5 g p/t & as reported 9.3 g p/t is resampled grade p/t.
So mill feed ATT was approx. 13 g p/t & it was reported that mill feed was only 2.5 g p/t.
That's a 420% discrepancy in what was being reported to market ATT & what was actually
occurring.
What is needed is some mill-tronics.

Milltronics belt scales from Siemens combine simple drop-in installation, low maintenance (no moving parts),
and repeatable accuracy for productive operation.
They show minimal hysteresis,superior linearity, and ignore side loading.
All designs feature overload protection.
With hazardous trade approvals, Milltronics belt scales can be used in almost any industrial environment
or application.
Along with sampling of mine head grade, mill feed grade & tailings supply .
We now have our own lab-use it implement standard operating procedure.
Knowing the tonnage through-put & average mill feed grade vs tailings loss,
will give an indication of expected gold pour recovery.
