They are referring to rates of recovery, these figures were overstated which gives us more room for manouvre once this has been fixed.
‘Following the review, management have identified several material discrepancies in the operational data released versus the mine's actual performance and wish to make the following clarifications with regards to the processing plant's performance. This review does not impact gold poured or gold sales during the period.’
The gold poured and sold figures were correct however by stating the metallurgical recovery rate was 66.6% they were diluting themselves as at 100% we would have only been recovering around 84% which gives them more scope for better recoveries going forward as opposed to limiting themselves off previous figures.
To me it shows DB knows his stuff, clearly he wasnt satisfied with figures put to him regarding mine design output. Its shows competence that comes with 25 years of experience in the mining industry.
Were currently in 2nd gear and DB from his opening statement on arrival said his goal was to get us up to nameplate production and keep us there. I trust him, i trust his professionalism, competence and experience to take us from current lows to historical highs. Everything hes doing reaffirms my belief in him and MTL.
