I just had to run some quick numbers to estimate of the present through-put of the PCFG operation.
Based on the manufacturer's specs for the HM400-1 articulated dump truck, the "heaped capacity" of each truck is 29.2 cubic yards. Round that down to 29, and multiply that times 2 trips per hour. (Based on Airdale1's empirical data) Multiply the product by 3 trucks. The resulting figure is 170 cubic yards per hour. Assuming an 8 hour work day (as reported to Airdale1 by PCFG employee Pam), the result is a per day thru put figure of 1,360 cubic yards.
PCFG said that they would be at 1,000 cubic yards by September. Here we are at the middle of the month and these figures indicate that they are surpassing their targeted production by 30%+. Not bad for a couple of insane guys who never ran a mine before, (as some detractors have called Bob and Mitch).
I know that there are going to be some people who will aggressively dispute what these numbers mean. Anyone who has a realistic outlook will see this as an extremely positive sign. PCFG has hit the marks they predicted, (with a good margin for error) and I believe that this indicates we can expect the next production report to do the same; production equal to or greater than projected.
Grab all the shares of PCFG you can afford. This is the time to get a good thing at a bargain price. All in my humble opinion, of course, but with a truckload of data to back it up. A big thanks to Airdale1 for the valuable data.
I just hang out here for the fun of it, that
doesn't mean I'm smart.
