@Karlos360
It will take quite some time to get to 3m oz.
I imagine we will need funding by June and we will not have increased a great deal by then.
I see needs to be settled then soon after we need ~ 100m for plant development.
Like we say, better to concentrate on structural as a certainty with low discovery costs and optimise the plant and pit to increase the metrics so we are more likely to get funding on our terms.
Sulphide ore and conglomerate can be included at not much additional costs.
If we could reduce waste throughput by adding a Tomra for example, then the output will increase exponentially.
Look at Fosterville. 2275 tpd and they are targeting 500,000 oz coming up.
If we optimise our plant with additional float capacity for sulphide ore and ore sorting for conglomerate after cash flow begins, we could be looking at a very efficient plant with high output.
Maybe not as high as Fosterville but we need to see what comes with further drilling, optimisation, conglomerate, etc.
Our plant, at 1m tpa is around 2700 tpd.
Proving a resource in conglomerate is a waste for us.
Understanding it could add many oz to our annual production.
I don’t want to guess at this stage and will wait for more news including the upcoming pfs.
Kind regards, Wack
