Some posters here appear to have some technical and mining experience …. If anyone can help I have 2 questions.

The IsaMillTM is available in the following models:
• M1000 (500 kW), capable of throughputs in the range 10 – 16 tonnes per hour
• M3000 (1100 kW), capable of throughputs in the range 20 – 35 tonnes per hour
• M5000 (1500 kW), capable of throughputs in the range 30 – 55 tonnes per hour
• M10000 (3000kW), capable of throughputs in the range 60 – 100 tonnes per hour



QUESTION 1.

Are the Ball Mill and the Isa Mill are one of the same?

Page 12 of the above report (referring to Las Lagunas) says: The Albion Process plant consists of an M3000 IsaMill, with an installed power of 1.5MW ….

This has since been upgraded to the M5000 but notice the 1500kW was used for the M3000 …. So originally the motor would have been above specifications.



QUESTION 2.

Nov 5th announcement:

26th Oct to 2nd Nov….. 542oz. Au and 5003oz. Ag forwarded to refinery (7 days)

Equates to a monthly rate of 2325 oz. Gold …. 5500 oz. being full production target (42%)

We need 50% to meet forward sale commitment …..

From yesterday’s announcement we would be unlikely to be doing much better than 42%.

Anyone know?



At 42% rough monthly revenue: (if Nov 5th figures still relevant)

2325 oz Au * 1300 = $3022500

21440 oz. Ag * 34 = $728960

Total: $3.75 million (I know the forward sales were originally at 1350 …. But these have been rolled back I think …. And that would come at a cost)
