as I post on a regular basis there is 100's of thousands of ore stockpiled. I have lost track of how much but last I knew was 150k tons of 1-3mm -how much of that is possibly in 0-1mm I dont know-I also specified the amount of sub 1mm chips-ca 37.5% from the 200k tons of 0-1mm is 75k tons sinter feedstock to ship to China(should be processed now) plus 125k tons fertilizer less any dirt not previously removed.
grajek had said the cat 375 w ripper bucket would triple production-over the original 4 small leased excavators-and they've also added cat 365 and 2 cat 330's and 3 cat 8 dozers capable of deep trenching. Also added processing equipment, Pics show several huge piles of ore still at mine.
Used to target 3-18mm but now main product is apparently 1-10mm-and they show a huge pile of that still at mine May 5-should still be there because port was full until the Qin Hai picked up 43800 tons.
Before the cat 355 and 375 and 2 330's and 3 cat 8's I estimated production at 22k tons/month-mostly from the original small 4 excavators. Processing is no longer a roadblock. So if grajekk said the cat 375 alone would triple pro how much does all the added equipment increase production.
