177000T ore processed dec qtr. 277000 oz. produced. ramping up to 200000t p/qtr 41000T ore with 91g/t silver left in oversized ore 36000 oz. in concentrates. 81% recovery
so if they hit 200000t processed per qtr (nearly there) at 91g/t = 200000 * 0.091 * 2.2lb/kg * 16 oz/lb = 640oz/qtr * 81% recovery this equals 2.1M oz p.a.
so when they ramp up to full ore ore process of 200000T 200000/177000 = 2006700 therefore when they feed the plant the remaining 23000tpa they will be producing 2moz p.a. with the current config.
they have a few ongoing improvements to make it seems they will get close to 2.5moz p.a..
DATA QUOTED BELOW.................................. The tonnes, grade and recovery of ore processed do not reconcile with silver produced due to the build-up of in-circuit stocks. These stocks include; - approximately 41,000 tonnes of oversize material at 91g/t silver and - 36,000 oz of silver produced in December which was not smelted and was contained in concentrate .........................................................
