Might have to wear the extra costs for a while, doubt if Chilches will want the first shipment from a new supplier to be 6 or 7kt.
Samples first (production not lab) then some small consignments?
Generates some income, if all hmc is diverted to msp and all products are bulk shipments= 3 months without that $10m /month income.
Back to where this part of the conversation started.....
As Randall pointed out "Two issues stand out in the announcements. They don't make that much HMC and what they do make they sell."

A couple of observations from the latest announcement:
Page 10 hmc being dropped by side tippers at the ramp/ feed hopper for msp.... looks like 2 or 3 kt there.....good news
no mineral spillage on the ramp so nothing going into the plant at that time.... not so good news
Page 12 a pr pic, first mineral being dropped at ramp stockpile, the truck under the finished product bin will be waiting a while.
