Sorry to distract people from their slanging match but I'd like some opinions on something I picked up reading the half-yearly report:
Granville Tin Project (TAS) During the half the Company processed ore and reclaimed tailings under the Level 1 permit which provides that up to circa 2,500 tonnes of material be treated per annum. Processing under the Level 1 permit concluded in late 2017. During the half, the Company dispatched a five tonne parcel of high grade concentrate to pilot the logistics chain and provide the receiving smelter with a “trial” parcel of tin concentrate. During the half, recovery of tin to pre-concentrate further improved with reconfiguration of circuit for fine/coarse streams, multiple gravity stages and introduction of dewatering. At the end of Level 1 processing operations, the plant tails grade at 0.4%Sn was slightly higher than laboratory test work (approx. 0.3%Sn) but when normalised for a higher feed grade anticipated for fresh Run of Mine ore, tin recovery approximates that expected for Level 2 operations.
Could this mean that there is no further tin coming out of Level 1? Like other SH I would be interested in hearing from management about the status of the shipment that they sent off months ago

Heading out the Door, but yes G1 has ceased. And no we don't know about the state of inventories or the balance of the 5T trial.
