Has anyone heard an updated status report on the second ball mill? It's been a few weeks since it's been repaired.

Thanks,

if mag is 1000 tpd thats 340000 tons for 340 days in a year
at $70 per ton is 23,800,000 revenue

Thxs. Seems the raw input tonnage is the only real constant.

When I really think about it the only production number that is a constant is the raw input tonnage that can be processed per day at the mill.

Seems pretty complex on the flotation side when the input product can vary to such a large degree. So must be quite a bit of pre-selection testing that must go into the pre-ground material before you run it through the mill. They probably mix grades in the grinding process or something to level out the production runs. At least this is what I am grasping at....

The output tonnage/percentages of all the final products depends on the quality of the ore being inputted with that particular production run.

So the final output numbers must vary by virtue of the quality of the ore over time and the current mine being worked. (Average grade will produce this average of tons of copper at an input rate of x tons/day)

I would like to know straight from the horses mouth what the rated run rates are on both mag/con lines churning at 100% and then what they expect for actuals. I think the differences in everybodies numbers are that some are actuals while others may be what gross production numbers. (Scheduled maintenance windows being the biggest hit here on actual production. I know about unscheduled stuff causing outages but that should shake out over the next few months once they understand the critical paths/failure points. Like raising a teenagers....)

Anyway thanks for the information guys. I am trying to get up to speed here so I don't sound like a total rube when I step foot into the mill...
