I don't know if they are using the 375 excavator for actual ore production any more. Every picture to date except for the very first ones, showed the 375 digging/removing overburden. But as long as the 365 has available ore to dig, and mine trucks to haul material, it should have no problem doing 50,000-70,000 tons a month in good digging. Each of the 330 excavators should be able to do half of that. We may have a couple hydraulic hammers still busting up big chunks of ore also, which could add slightly to the mix. . Out ot the stuff that is crushed and separated probably half can make the 62% grade for imediate shipping imo. Thus 60,000 tons/month, not counting fertilizer, or Cemex heavy gravel is easily attainable imo.
If they get the overburden removed from the top of the one section of Colosso I would think they would need extra articulated mine trucks just to keep up with the 365 and 375 alone..
I sure miss the weekly mine pictures.. For all I know right now they could have layed the whole shootin' match off, until the shipping crap is settled with the Cuctoms Department and lawsuit is done. If Cemex sales are still covering production overhead we're probably fine, but we do need steady cash flow to pay the help and trucking outfits imo. I doubt we will get another pay-in-advance thing from an iron buyer, with Mexico acting as dumb as my ex. No guarantees on when the BS will be done, and shipping can start again, so we probably aren't even talking to buyers at this point... We lost nearly a half year of profits because Mexican politicians decided to do their version of the stinkin' Keystone Cops! And if they do a sequel it could be another 3 months before we can really get rolling to our potential..
I never was very good at the "friggen hurry up and wait" thing.. I need GIT-ER-DONE!! Now! LOL! I think I'm having a mushroom day.. Take care kids...
