"A decision was taken to replace the current cone crusher with a larger version and improve the feed mechanism to the crusher. Not only should this increase the reliability of our crushing circuit, hence its availability, it will enable us to potentially increase the capacity of the crushing circuit to above our medium-term target of 400,000t per annum to enable the building of the necessary crushed ore inventory. In order to preserve cash, the new crusher will be acquired on a rent to buy contract, the cost of which will be partially offset by the release of a smaller rented crusher. Downstream conveyors, motors and pumps are also being correctly sized to handle the additional throughput."
So they seem to have decided to keep the old crusher as well as running the new larger one. The small one was getting us to 35,000 tons per month the new one can do more. That will mean the capacity to process ore will have around 80,000 per month or twice that of what we have been told so far.
