Ops Update.12 Jan 2026 07:34
going back over the ops update from last week and thought i'd post some musings.
actual production: 144,000 tonnes of stacked ore per annum, actual grade / recovery rate of 63%, 2,900 troy ounces produced. that's only 12,000 tonnes average per month btw, not the 14,000 the rns stated.
stated target: 250,000 tonnes of stacked ore per annum, stated target of 4,000 troy ounces, but the recovery rates produce 5,000.
average processing: 36,000 tonnes per month of ore, that's 432,000 tonnes of ore stacked per annum, that's circa 8,700 troy ounces.
top stated plant processing capacity: 56,000 tonnes per month, 672,000 tonnes per annum, that's circa 13,600 troy ounces per year.
all values in troy ounces. taking a 63% real recovery rate.
thats a wild variance. insert your own reasons for this here. this will range from under promise, over deliver to another incompent and hard to understand ops update.
they've had real problems in h2 digging up the raw material, processing and stacking the ore. that's before we get to the leaching. but grades / recovery are by and large as they state.
going from 12,000k per month stacking, to 56,000 per month is a big leap. even 36,000k is 2 x the average.
as i say, take what you want from these numbers, but could be anything is. ****show all the way to aim multibagger of the year.
