Macklemore I needed a slight nudge and you did the trick !!

You will see on the 3 months shipments rolling graph that the production numbers are averaging around 400 t/day. This will need to lift to an average of 550 t/day in order to maintain annual target production of 200,000 tpa. The current average for the 2018 shipments is roughly 480 t/day (calculation not shown on image below).

Overall the plant is ticking along nicely. The time between shipments and volume graph shows that we have just had another spike around 45 days between shipments for Pan Gloris (third clear spike since steady state production). Perhaps this is for planned shutdown and maintenance?

I believe the new ground opening and stripping activities are resulting in a temporary downturn in spodumene production (totally normal for a mine). This should pickup towards the end of the year as the better strip ratio 1:1 comes into play. On top of that the new plant upgrades will be commissioned soon which should boost annual production well over 250,000 tpa.
