Hi Actuary. Leon said Sable would be running at capacity buy June/July which would bev8,000 to 9 ,000 tonnes. Lets say 8 000. Some of that is from Roan, so we have to be careful not to double count that quantity. Currently 85% of Roan production goes to Sable. That may well change as the mining assets supply Sable. If we say Roan sends 2,000 to 4,000 tonnes per annum directly to market, we get 10 000 to 12,000 annualised rate from virtually the start of the new financial year 2025/6.
Exta capital spend at Sable should double capacity at Sable to 16,000 and Roan is projected to add 9 000 to that capacity. So 2026/7 should see North of 20,000 tonnes. Will the waste rock project add to that? Pleased to hear Leon saying that JLP is foccussing on maximising profits from already capitalised projects over capitalising new projects. I can see 12p by end of 2026/7. Who knows, certainly not me.
