Morning,
Good to meet Mikie, Northern, HG, Chester and Rodders.
Being a fairly substantial shareholder, I always try and attend but this year (after so many changes) I felt I needed to refresh my understanding JLP and if possible address the poor communications that have been evident.
A few key notes from me...
Target of 2m Chrome concentrate will make JLP the biggest in the world.
Currently 1.45m (8 modules). Recently announced Project T (9th module) following election to expand (Thutse) will inc to 1.7m, 6m to construct, $5.5/6m cost, payback 12 mths.
What are modules? Basically, mini concentrators. Low cost, replicas of existing units, 4/6 weeks for design, 6m construction, lower risk as can run of back up power in event of loss of electricity etc.
New chrome strategy produces earning 5-8 times the old tolling agreements. Presently approx 900/950 tonnes on old tolling agreements rest (and future) on new higher earnings strategy.
PGM 2023 target all from own (inyomi 44k capacity). Additional PGM feed (from new chrome contracts) gives option to be selective in which feed we use at Inyomi but also consider to also use third party JV (less profitable but no capital spend to further inc Inyomi capacity) if desired.
Copper clarity.
Tailings, been mined/processed and basically a fine mud
Waste, (large) rock from mining, not previously processed, disregarded material, different types/grade.
Mistake in previously not separating the two.
Upgrade separates the two and run/operate independently.
Now "nailed" Waste. Module designed and proven. Inundated with opportunity.
The above was based upon my notes and my understanding of what was said. Very happy for other present to add and correct if needed.
I will add a bit more later.
