Hey Baldy, here it is, in the Company's own words:
"The plan consists in operating the Sekisovskoye Mine at 850kt annual capacity for three years then ramping up production to 2Mtpa over a six year period. This will be achieved by increasing the capacity of the existing processing plant to 1Mtpa from 0.85Mtpa for US$8.4m and constructing a new 1Mtpa metallurgical plant and tailings dumps for US$45.7m. The 2Mtpa production level is planned to be achieved with the development of vertical skip, cage and ventilation shafts down to the -430masl level. As such, while the mine is being currently accessed via two declines, a capital expenditure ("Capex") of US$204m is planned for the Life of mine underground expansion in order to develop a new vertical skip, cage and ventilation shafts as well as the associated infrastructure".
