Hey Oz,

The material from the sluice box is being pumped to the original circuit as you suggest, after the initial gravity table that was placed online to improve efficiency (I remember reading that).

It may look a slow rate of feed, but we are just looking at the last bit of the most recent bucketload that was dumped in the chute.

The guy with the hose is probably also there to make sure the hammermill doesn't get choked with a full bucketload in one hit.

The speed of the operation will be determined by the hammermill and screen size.

May not be 25 tph, but would definitely be at least 1/2 that I would think.

After historic events, we would be making the ore as fine as talcum powder before we experiment with larger particle size.

Anyway ...that's my take.

Cheers,

SJB
