Bull points
- the expanded plant has come online, has reduced cost per ton, particularly in the operating cost basis by over half. We are still, even at a lower grade profile and a lower recovery rate, which goes hand in hand, given the metallurgy of the buckberry four, we're still a very low cost asset.
- So we can find higher grade resources and bring them into the mine plant, such as what we have looking at at Stanford Bridge, what we've had at Anfield, and put the drill bit in and expand those over time.
- We had an increase in adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations because the cost profile was lower, as well as the increase in gold price from Q1 2024 enabled us to have higher adjusted EBITDA and higher cash flow from operations than we did in the prior years.
Bear points
- The maintenance of the road is much better than it was before, and that is also very much appreciated by the locals in the community.
- the head grade is going to be lower, probably a little bit slightly lower than what we had in Q1 is where it's coming in. Recovery rates will be, I don't have, I suspect slightly higher.
