Train 2 in the notes

New magnetic circuit in the new flotation process

6mt is just the max volume that train can take not that they will produce that amount

Hi Spades

Yes it’s got very tedious I don’t know why I keep looking in, not so much these days though.

Both of these should be ashamed of themselves and should move on.

That stockpile is not that big.

At 50m dia maybe 20m high would give around 2,000oz,

In 2021 when the first 6mt was mentioned it has to be put into context. Telfer was due to be exhausted by 2023, there would be no weak or high grade ore from Telfer going through the plant.

I can’t see ore from Havieron being processed for at least 12 months from now.

We don’t know the extent to which Telfer ore can be extracted economically, it’s already struggling to make free cash flow.

Shaun told us that Train 2 is being adapted to suit Havieron ore, according to Shiny bits that doesn’t seem to have happened yet.

The head grade of that train will be adapted to suit that ore. The chemical processes involved restricts the mixing of Havieron/Telfer ore.

They will know what head grade to put through the mill and will be mixed on the ROM pad at Havieron before it’s transported to Telfer.

There’s some really high grades coming out first and may be held back to mix with weaker ores from around the edges of the sulphides. In the 2mt operation 600,000 ton of weaker ore was going to be discarded, this may be included in the 3mt reducing the grades.

Raising the tonnage from 2mt to 3mt per day has already reduced the grades from the high 3’s to the high 2’s.

Raising it again to 6mt will bring in far more weak ore surrounding the crescent maybe reducing the grades to the low ones g/t.

Initial ore revenues will be lower not higher with more ore to transport and process.

LESS IS MORE as the old saying goes!

“ big fat DFS showing 6mt”

The FS is only for the crescent and possibly some high grade pods in the breccia.

Future possible scenarios may be announced with the mining plan.

The FS was only looking at a 3mt operation, 6mt would double that, I’ve no idea how that would be achieved through that Decline.

As I’ve described previously a hoist is miles away in time.

It’s total dreams, for me it’s a nightmare weakening that fantastic high grade ore would be criminal

If someone came to me and asked me to design a hoist for Havieron:-

First question “ what depth”

‘Well we don’t really know yet but thinking of around 750m then extending it to 1200m’

“Do you need a cost breakdown as extending the hoist will be expensive “

‘Oh perhaps you better, can you give a design and cost for just the lower one’

“ Ok is there any other factors that might effect the design”

‘Well yes there’s a chance of a bulk mining operation following that’

“Ah you may well need a larger hoist then, what tonnage will you be looking at”

‘Uh don’t know yet’

“Looks like you’re not ready for a hoist yet”

I don’t feel the tailings issue will be that long now.

There’s no activity on the dams themselves, only the spraying of the tailings by that small plane.

Tom Palmer stated weeks away not months, that was some time back.

There’s a process to go through once the work is complete, inspections, reports and eventual sign off.

I feel we are in the inspection stages.

Hi James that new subsidiary is probably for the Woodlands area licences.

Greatland Newco Party Ltd is intriguing

I doubt the sale of Telfer can proceed without the prohibition notice being lifted, there’s no sign of that officially yet.

The tailings ponds are still being sprayed according to the satellite image from yesterday.

It looks doubtful they will be putting anymore tailings in that pond for sometime.

Newmont have suggested they will start to lift TSF8 in stages upto 63m in height but firstly upto 27m from 16m. This can’t start though until the notice is lifted.

The stockpile from the underground is still growing slowly but it’s a satellite image in reality it’s a fairly big mound so any increase will look small over 5 days.

The images for Havieron, London and Bootstrap hadn’t downloaded last night everything around it has though.

The pads at Teague on Triangle South haven’t started yet, it’s very close to the Punmu highway.

The pads on Bootstrap have been constructed.

Drilling on London had commenced was expecting to see them on pad 3 shall have to hope the image has downloaded.

That was a sly dig at me.

He really doesn’t understand the Havieron ore body and how it will be stoped.

6mt is some years off and not till an SLC operation.

Hi Ace keep smiling.

I certainly won’t promote Antipa, Minyari really is all they have apart from a vast amount of land. Minyari to me has no retrievable high grade, it’s interspersed with weak ore. The talk of transporting to Telfer its’ ore is all that it is “talk”.

There looks nothing viable at Pacman .

Hi Ace that’s very blinkered and shortsighted view.

Antipa are very relevant they have licences all round the Paterson. Not knowing what they are finding is blind way of looking at things.

Their licence with that anomaly sat underneath our new roadway to Telfer is very relevant it could alter the route.

Pacman has a real relevance to Basel as it’s sat very close and also to our PRE.

Much more interesting to read about Antipa than arguments between members on here.

I certainly won’t stop posting about Antipa.

They don’t mention they’ve surrendered about 50% of Pacman.

Those results are very weak, will take a lot of finance to locate where the anomalies are coming from.

300ppm copper is very weak, economical find would be around 8,000ppm or 0.8%

I feel it’s just a rumour, they will need the prohibition notice lifted before any sale announcement.

No sign of that officially

Hi Zoros

There’s no SLOS output mentioned apart from earlier when they say 3mt being assessed for the FS.

On page 12 it does give the size of the stopes and we know from what Shaun said in London that 100m length is being assessed for the FS to get the required output of 3mt.

That doesn’t cater for the 2 very long stopes at both ends of the crescent which runs inside the ore and not across. These 2 can’t be done all at once and they come off stopes which cut across the crescent, meaning they can’t be completed until these long stopes are backfilled and cured.

It’s not a straight forward stoping operation of hit and miss.

10mt pa is a dream it won’t happen. There’s not enough total tonnage of high grade ore to cover that amount.

There not likely to fork out for a hoist at the start, they’ve told us this it will come out by truck. They need revenue coming before investing in more infrastructure.

The Decline needs to keep going down to the base of the mine first before any hoist is thought about . The stope accesses need the Decline before they can be constructed.

I’ve itemised a stope mine plan and I can tell you that getting 3mt out of the SE crescent is going to take sum doing.

The shape of the ore body just will not take more than 3mt.

10mt will bring out weak ore with the high grade that’s totally not going to bring in high revenue it will all be mixed up.

2mt of very high grade is better than a weaker 3mt and far more than a weaker 10mt.

An ore depth is 750m gives a Decline length of 5,300m

@6m per day = 883 days

Ore depth of 1200m gives a Decline length of 8,450m = 1450 days

Hi Speedie

The Ggp chat board is not the place to talk politics, this only causes division and arguments, we have enough of that without politics.

Look at that one nasty post aimed at me

Solar panel farms and hydrogen production is my guess

My repost

“3mt mining plan by stoping

Each stope is 30x30x50=45,000m cubed

3 specific gravity = 135,000 ton

3mt divided by 135k =22 stopes required

There are around 10 stopes that can be worked on one level, therefore at least 3 levels need to be worked on in the first year.

Paste backfilling and curing needs to be completed before the in between stopes can be worked on.

More levels therefore are needed lower down to be opened up for stoping.

After about the sixth level there are less stopes per level so the pace of opening up more levels lower down quickens.

Introducing a hoist for the top 600m could be 2 years away before commissioned therefore will be too late for the top levels so the hoist needs to go lower maybe lower than the original mining plan to say 1200m of ore.

3mt extraction = 8,219 t per day

This is 17 days to empty one stope

A 40t truck can carry around 27ton when a 30% bulking factor is taken into account, so therefore 304 truck loads per day are required.

To get 6mt per year by truck would need 610 loads per day and need at least 45 stopes per year.

That’s nearly half way down the ore body and the next year down to the bottom of the ore body.

Decline to get to 750m depth of ore ( the original plan depth) @1:7 @6m per day = 880 days or 2.5 years.

That doesn’t include the infrastructure drives to the stopes.

In conclusion in my opinion 3mt is a maximum limit on the Decline trucking and of the original mine plan.

6mt is not an option on this shaped ore body with stoping and a hoist would not help in this instance.

However the FS is looking to optimise the current plan.

My thoughts on this is to take in more high grade pods in the top levels this will increase the life of mine but keeping it at 3mt.

Introduce bigger stopes reducing the number required for each year.

Allows time for the Decline to be completed and installation of a hoist for subsequent SLC operations under the slope of the Dyke ( the footwall)”
