gardno,

For a non holder of CuDeco shares, you certainly exhibit impatience.

Serious mining of the rich open cuts at Rocklands is underway. The 5 million tonne per annum throughput of the primary crusher will soon use up the stored ore and don't forget the mobile crusher will be functioning as well.

I am looking forward to the open cut at Las Minerale reaching the really rich ore at the 45 metre level. If that ore exceeds the drilling assays as has done the ore at the higher levels, that will bode well for increased profitability.

If you take the time to read the announcements, you will understand what is happening with respect to direct shipment ore.

Direct shipment ore was not something on my radar. It came as a welcome surprise. Dig and ship is a particularly low cost operation which will be a ready money earner for CuDeco.
