This from the Australian marketing presentation

"Çöpler Sulfide Plant is operating and the Plant is proving to be robust - no constraints have been identified
The second autoclave is expected to come online in the coming week
Commercial production is expected in early 2019
Ramp up to full nameplate capacity of 1.9 mtpa expected by the end of 2019"

Timeline is sketchy.

Can anyone explain why nameplate capacity is not expected until the end of 2019? They have more than enough sulphide ore on the ROM pad and the first phase of the tailings storage is completed and receiving tailings. Where is the bottleneck in the ramp up that's delaying the plant getting to nameplate until the end of 2019? Apparently no constraints have been identified???

Beware of the Canadian spin merchants. Facts vs spin. The performance of this plant remains an unknown quantity at this stage IMO. Esh
