Not so fast on the HL. The green comes from the small HL that they used as a test HL visible on the pictures. The pictures of the loading are from the end of January and the schedule was to have it fully loaded by mid April. They were adding 3 to 5 meters of ore and that's a lot of rocks. It takes 45 days to complete the cycle.

On one of the picture you can see the stockpiles so no problem loading the pad.

If I recall production is expected to be 1,000 to 1,500 oz. per month when fully operational.

My understanding is that Cyanide pricing is up and cyanide is in short supply so schedule could be impacted. The good part is that it is reusable so only the first go around is the problem.
