opaline,

if you would, can you please reconcile how A1 can effectively mine the reserve grade of ~5g/t when they are forced to blend the supergene zone with low grade ore?

can they actually achieve 5g/t, or, given the ore characteristics, is it impossible for them to reasonably expect to expect a sustained period of 5g/t minimum throughput?

not questioning the reserve statement, just want to know what the plant feed needs to be. From what i hear from the site, there is going to be a continued need to blend, hence grades will not get to 5g/t, hence produciton must run at 1,000t p.d.

quick calc.

1,000t p.d. x say 350days p.y. = 350,000t

x 3g/t = ~33,800ozs x 90% recovery = ~30,420 ozs p.a.

the last pours were not reflective of this

please reconcile and outline my errors.

cheers
