Something else that slipped my mind but not sure how Gestur meant it, He said that the cash cost was way too high for each ounce, around the 400's but that he was starting to see it coming down to the high 200's low 300's and that soon it should be under the 200 range.
Of course he was saying this to someone else and i did not hear what started that conversation.
As for the 500 tpd, I have to at least say that this was coming from the accountant, who while very informed, may not know where exactly they are in ramping up.
The sentiment that I got was he was trying to be as cautious as possible. He deferred a bunch of questions for Dale, but i couldn't wait around long enough for him to show up.
I would have taken the afternoon off and really spent some time there as there were a lot of displays and companies to see, but i am major busy at work these days. (the story of my life).
Next year I would plan this better.
