-
The review of operations included resource definition, geotechnical stability, capital expenditure, operating costs and open pit dewatering.
- The results of the resource defintion review were better than originally believed.
- The geotechnical review of the seawall was positive.
- Water inflows from the test bores are lower than forecast, enabling a simpler dewatering model.
- Open sump pumps will be able to handle the revised inflows.
- The dewatering system is efficiently controlling all the current water inflows to the pit.
- Fortnightly export shipments are to resume in August 2004.
- (Current shipments monthly).
-
During construction of the sea wall in the first half of 2004, production will be restricted to between 50,000 and 75,000 tonnes per month, increasing to between 100,000 and 125,000 tonnes per month after completion of the sea wall.
