Metal prices rallied again, copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver up....so good news for RVR if prices hold.
Not so good news for those 15c buyers. Bought more at 16c this week and have an order in for 15.5c but don't expect it to fill now.....Trading Friday was particularly strong on close with an almost line wipe of 16.5c.
Whilst not privy to mining plan given 3500t of Far West ore has been stockpiled thus far, 10000 t for the qtr is not unreasonable to expect. Given West 45 production is stable anticipate processing of 100-105 kt ore this qtr.
So my wishlist for the qtr and reasoning
5-10% additional ore thru put. 100-105kt.. as above. 70-75% steady state copper recovery.... as reported for december.73.2% Ore at similar or slightly higher zinc equiv.... stoping in higher grades towards centre of West 45.
Based on above aiming for 8250 tonne of zinc con. 3200 tonne of lead con. 1050 tonne of copper con.
Will have to wait to April to find out.u
Anyone else with thoughts on the next quarterly?
Enjoy your weekend.
Wassa.
