At this juncture, lost mill time is not significant. In theory they can mill 3 months worth of mine production in two months. The big news that I am waiting for is when the underground drifts at 16 and 26 levels access the gold deposits. This will allow miners to get to work without tying up the A shaft. I have learned on this blog that mining upwards is also a lot easier. With any luck we might see some long hole mining. 2500 tons from the mines everyday will keep the mill working and increase gold production by 50%. If gold gets smashed once more on the same day as Bernankes election goodies I will shoot my remaining wad on some more PM equities. The election is in November so Obama will give the bankers anything they want to get another term. OMHO from deep down the rabbit hole.
