Good morning Ladeis & Gentlemen, and JC: The source for ttat statement is Hoov --->

"A minor comment with respect to the thought that we might be pouring dore in 3 months....the mill output is a rather drab dark grey powder (the concentrate), composed of zinc, gold, and silver, with minor other metals possible. The milestone represented by commercial production would indicate that the mill is operating at or near design throughput (tonnes/day), and that recoveries of precious metals in the concentrate were acceptable. The concentrate will be shipped out in that form, and will be custom smelted and refined thereafter."
