twiggy falls 49,800 short of target , page-21

gidday westcott,at this stage 45mta is about it with just 1 shiploader/1 reclaimer so to get to the tonnes you mentioned a second line would need to be built ie. car dumper-reclaimer and shiploader(this stage of expansion would also include a direct load circuit,straight from the dumper to the ship,it should have been done in the very beginning) we already have 2 stackers, the foundations for the next 2 dumpers is already in place, the machines we need are half built sitting in china,and the dredge pipes are all still in place ready to go for the 3rd berth,it was just a thing called GFC that bought everything to a screaming halt, should twiggy sercure the right funding, all this infrastructure would be up and running within 12-18 months,the mine is still going ahead as we speak with a new ore processing facility to be built at christmas creek and a rail spur at present we truck the ore in to cloudbreak(60km's)a wet end is also being added to the opf at cloudbreak to remedy the problems with the high moisture content in the ore there,so production will steadily increase to forcastlevels(we now have over a million tonnes stockpiled at the port whereas earlier as soon as it arrived at the port it went straight on the ship).If you are interested in juniors FMS is another one to watch this one will go eventually IMO
