Anyone has an idea what's the best way to estimate (ballpark) the FS/PEA (2021) total production when assuming the recoveries (%) they had in 2008?

PFS (2008) |
FS (2013) |
FS/PEA (2021) |
Total production (LOM) |
|
|
|
Copper (M lbs) |
4,762 |
4,875 |
6,120 |
Gold (T oz.) |
4,493 |
4,213 |
4,936 |
Silver (M oz.) |
32.5 |
25.1 |
31.1 |
Moly (M lbs) |
255.2 |
214.9 |
282.2 |
For my numbers, I used the 2008 numbers, adjusted based on mine life (e.g. 22.6 years vs. 21 years), added 33% for the increase in tonnage (from 100k tpd to 133k tpd) and adjusted that total with a grade ratio (e.g. 0.25%/0.26%). Does that make sense?
Or else, should I possibly use the 2013 numbers, do a rule of three for the recovery (%) and then add 2.3% for the increase in tonnage + adjust with a grade ratio?
I might be comparing apple with oranges here, not sure. How were they able to obtain so much production with only 100k tpd in 2008?
Any help would be appreciated.
