Well the guidance is probably allowing for some problems no doubt. Nameplate was about 5000 tpd of ore with 94% recovery, in an earlier feas study (which may have changed). So 1.7 Mt is about 340 days running per annum, and at 4.75 g/t x 94% / 31 = 245 koz
Should be happy with the guidance for the first year, if my assumptions are still correct. They are obviously very happy about what they have seen.
