The man hours reported on in the MHSA Report are not directly related to output. Those man hours include maintenance, repairs, mining as opposed to processing, etc. The numbers you want to look at are the plant's capacity (150 yards per hour) and the hours the plant ran (which we don't know). Running at 100% capacity (which is unlikely) They'd be capable of producing the following in 1 hour:

.4 grams/yard 60 grams 1.87 ounces

.3 grams/yard 45 grams 1.40 ounces

.2 grams/yard 30 grams 0.93 ounces

.1 grams/yard 15 grams 0.47 ounces

You can use those numbers to calculate how much gold they'll report on the 10 K depending on the percentage of capacity they're running at, the number of hours the plant ran during the day and whichever recovery rate you choose.

I realize that working this out ia a bit difficult, but it's relatively important if we're going to predict the amount of gold processed. It' pretty safe to assume that the production workers are putting in 50 hour weeks based on the data, but there is no direct link to the amount of gold recovered. \V/_

It all comes down to this: "Nobody Knows Nuttin!"

Edit: LMPA. if you use these numbers you can work out several scenarios depending on how optimistic you want tobe.
