Sorry for not replying straight away some of us have work to do.
The negative posters must try harder and not seem as if they are working on crystal balls all the time, forecasting disaster but not knowing any ramp up figures.
If they had access to the engine hours from the service computers of the load and haul dumpers and the distance from the load to the drop they might have some up to date information, they could add in an estimated for the last 5 days of September. But they haven’t. They’d also need the through put figures for all the other plant down the line. But they don’t have it.
I don’t have those either.
I do know the number of dumpers and their capacity and an approximate distance between the load and drop and what the average set up would be. They tend to match the load and haul capacity to the rest of the plant down the line.
I do know that all ramp up’s take time. Plant and machinery will run, break down, be repaired or replace and run again.
Corica run lots of plant and machinery on a whole host of surrounding mines and are experienced.
Hum also have experienced guys running their ramp up.
I would think quarter 3 will be an increase on Q2 and Q1 but that’s guessing because its in the future. Commercial production should be in Quarter 4, that’s any time after September 30th and they will announce that when it happens instead of waiting for a quarter update. That’s when the first bounce in the share price comes. Full production after that.
The ramp up in the share price also takes time, look at HOC this year for a bit of guidance.
That’s my take on it.
