Fair question. The same could be said of the recovery (74% v 73%). They’re actually targeting mine production of 1mtpa and assuming the ore sorter gets rid of 15% would be 850ktpa through the concentrator, and from my understanding the plant has the capacity for this level of throughput (though it’s yet to be seen).
My logic was that as I’m diluting the ore feed by assumed 13% (resource grade 1.91% Sn, feed grade 1.66% Sn) and comparing to an 1.30% feed grade avg for the past year. That’s plant feed. I had assumed the ore sorter would remove circa 6% of waste (reducing dilution to circa 7%) but chose to show this via increased throughput rather than improved feed grade. I guess in hindsight I should have just increased the feed grade to 1.75% and kept plant throughput to 800ktpa, result is similar.
