Spare Capacity

Now that we have established Lindi graphite veins aren’t narrow at all and in fact many conjoining veins of similar superior grade’s actually form super veins, I thought it an interesting time to discuss spare plant capacity at Lindi Jumbo. With new actual throughput of 230tpa to achieve 40kt of graphite as opposed to the original 280tpa due to higher easily accessible grades in early years. Before I throw it open for debate I did notice below some important factors apart from the reduced processed tonnage now requiring due to superior grades being processed. The plants actual capacity of 1000t/day, only running 300 day shifts a year (no night shift) and the trammel screen oversized to secondary crusher. All legitimate input welcome.
