size of gold bar

"The standard gold bar for bank-to-bank trade, known as a "London good delivery bar" weighs 400 troy ounces (over thirty-three pounds), yet is no bigger than a paperback novel.

If this is the size gold bar that will be cast from Apex, it will equate to a weeks production. So if milling commenced in the last week of November, it will not be until the early weeks of December that enough gold will be available for a bar to be cast, depending on the production schedule of the facility that Perth Mint share with Johnson Matthey a short distance from Perth airport. With the mining industry approaching Xmas it will be touch and go as to what gold will be smelting over the coming weeks. What is more important is the production rate and grade of the ore being milled at present.
