777. I was basing my estimates on the following.
According to Psyclops who spoke to the directors last September, both Pads 1 & 2 had been re-mined. I am not sure if the resulting improved agglomerate was replaced on the same pads, or used in Pad 3.
Pad 3 has been stacked to 6 metres, which exceeds the original ore stacked in both Pads 1 & 2 & being of a superior nature, should yield more leach solution than the first two Pads.
At the AGM mid December, I asked what the current daily copper production was & the figure of 5 tons was given.
I realise that this figure would have declined during Jan, Feb & March, but should have improved greatly during May & June, given the excellent weather.
I am still looking for a figure closer to 1,000 tons, rather than 466 tons to end of June.
However, only around a month to wait. Perhaps just once results will exceed expectations. We shall see.
