Mining & production costs in the half year accounts totalled...

Mining & production costs in the half year accounts totalled $110.8mil and from the quarterly reports we can work out that March qtr was $53.0mil and June qtr was $57.9mil. So the prediction of $59.0mil for Sept qtr is probably reasonable having regard to increasing headcount. We have been told it was very wet in July & August and it's hard to reduce your workforce in those circumstances, so you've got to pay them whether they're on their tractors or playing cards in the staff room.
