Some elements remain to be optimized such as the automatic sampler and the filter press. To date, four dores were poured at the mine withfinal refining at Johnson Matthey (Ontario), sale of these ingots is underway. Results will be compiled and published subsequently when the mine reaches its normal production pace.
The fourth vein of the mine, located 120 m from the surface, is dewatered and ready to be exploited. Mechanical problems associated with extraction equipment caused delays, however, the Company maintains its objective to reach full capacity shortly at 300 t/d. Access to four veins will allow the stabilization of production revenues by combining areas of high and low levels.
