Thanks for the email. Yes we have had a problem with the tertiary crusher and it has been pulled out of the circuit so our throughput has been cut back a bit. Keep in mind that the crusher circuit has three crushers; a jaw crusher and two cone crushers. It has a capacity of 62 tonnes per hour and usually works only 12 hours a day because the capacity of the HMS plant which it feeds is only 35 tonnes per hour. So we can keep going with only two crushers. It just involves a bit more screening.
The logistical and political risk issues that seem to concern shareholders most, have turned out to be a breeze. The barge is operating perfectly and the transportation and export aspects have gone very smoothly indeed.
Please feel free to call me should you wish to discuss.
Regards
Bill Turner
