ID78 obviously I am not a miner but I would imagine that it is not as simple as pushing a button and we ramp up production to whatever number we want. This is a new find and mining only commenced March 9th and they are already processing 360tpd as per the RNS - that sounds to me as a layperson impressive given the standing start from the new zone - posters with industry knowledge will be able to enlighten us with the infrastructure / preparatory work just to extract and get the tonnage to the mill. I don't want any false starts here - going hell for leather and then it's unsustainable - trenching drilling and sampling has been mentioned - this needs to happen in a coordinated, sustainable way and increase / optimise production as the geos and production team get into the swing. All this takes cash of course for consumables etc and so we need to be mindful of cashflow. This is hard, complex work and little things can create challenges - just look at the twitter today and the loss of power - quickly sorted but those are the unforeseen events that can occur. So in summary for what it's worth, I trust Robbie to ramp up production in a steady, controlled sustainable manner and I look forward to the next market update on grades and in the near future. This is a marathon not a sprint.
