Last question is just, there’s been a heavy focus on waste stripping at stage seven. I’m just wondering, you know, when do you get into a sort of an ore harvest phase? How does that sequence with your expectations of when the high-grade stockpile will be exhausted? Thank you.
Simon Tyrrell, Chief Operating Officer, Greatland Resources Limited: Thanks, Daniel. As I mentioned, we’ve got about 15% of stage seven in the blend this year. That goes up to 40%. We’ll have somewhere in the order of 8 to 10 million tons of ore from stage seven in FY2027. The high-grade stockpiles wind down or they’re consumed in the March quarter next year. That’ll give you a flavor for how that sequencing happens. As I mentioned, we are looking at uplift plans for the open pit. As we’ve locked in the schedules for the new equipment, we can start to put that into the open pit schedules, and that might bring forward some of that stage seven material, but that’s work in progress at this point in time.
