the number one priority ...., page-5

The real point I was going to try to make before I got sidetracked...sorry about that is,

Commissioning is hard work but if cash, people and all the resources necessary are put into it it doesn't need to be a drawn out painful procedure. It can be a shorter painful procedure, then you can get on with business.

What tends to draw it out is if early in the piece, before the met is even considered, the engineering co and the client representative, who could be a mining engineer or geo make decisions that later on turn out to cause pain, but doggedly stick to such ideas, rather than let go of them and put their faith in the met they hired (and probably cash cause they were trying to cut corners in the first place).

And I was being a bit of a smarty pants in suggesting you go to the mill in a week. If you have a roster of 3 crews working 8 days on it takes at least 8 days until one of the crews have their first crack at the mill and sometimes have to learn what the outgoing crew already learnt.

Best of luck.
