In the Q2 they talked about repairs to the hoist and electronic controls of crucial hoisting equiptment. Even a spare motor. Sounds like they are gearing up for some earth movement. I am pretty sure the higher grades will be on their radar. Without a reliable hoist 300 tpd from the deeps would be unreasonable. I now try to imagine the number of tons as dump trucks with about 15 tons per truck. That is a lot of dirt to blast, scoop and haul. Many people look at the numbers like 1200 tpd or 60,000 ounces and don't have a concept of how huge those numbers really are. Good on management and I think they are finally on their way. Good management will be a must if the 1800 tpd and 200,000 ounce numbers are to be achieved. Everything will have to run like a swiss watch. Including the camp and the kitchen.
