Key highlights:
- Material grades: 3.14% Cu, 0.82 g/t Au, and 25.2 g/t Ag
- Limited to six truck shipments due to spring road restrictions
- Carriers restricted to 70% total weight, reducing payload to 50%
The company faced operational challenges with x-ray transmissive ore sorter sensors, resulting in lower copper grades. These issues have been resolved, though early March saw higher copper content in rejects than usual. All rejected material maintains sufficient grade for future processing once the mill receives operating permits.
