Comments on the production information

  • THIS PROPERTY WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REHABILITATED AND TO START PRODUCTION BY 1984, AT 6,355 MTPD MINED/4,539 MTPD MILLED. AS OF 1990, THIS PROPERTY SHOULD BE PRODUCING 3,278,850 MTPY ORE * 0.0065% REO = 212.74 MTPY REO * 80% RECOVERY = 170.2 MTPY REO IN CONCENTRATE / 63.5% REO IN CONCENTRATE = 268 MTPY REO CONCENTRATE.
