- A total of 135 veins within 61 vein packages were individually modelled as opposed to the previous approach of applying geostatistics to 56 grouped vein packages, and thereby provided an upgraded confidence in the vein packages/domain boundaries.

The study has been jointly done by Borehole Geophysics Research Laboratory, Karad, CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad and Department of Geophysics, IIT (Indian School of Mines).

Both founders told me they expect to reap enormous cost reductions from expanding production — activities that involve buying materials more cheaply in bulk and assembling units on automated factory lines instead of building them by hand, as is the case now. Design advances could wring out other costs. “Maintenance is very expensive,” Wurzbacher said. “Right now, if we exchange the filters in the collectors, we have to rent a crane, and that’s a lot of man-hours. In the next-generation units, we have improved that a lot, so relatively small design changes could cut the costs of maintenance by a factor of three.” Climeworks also intends to derive savings from improvements to crucial materials, like the sorbent that catches the CO₂. At the moment, the company’s technology requires that the temperature inside the units be raised periodically to about 100 degrees Celsius to release CO₂ from the sorbent so it can be drawn off and stored. If the process can be done at a lower temperature, the units will use less energy, and the life of the materials should be extended, further driving down costs.

- Sustaining capital increased from $3.6 million to $5.8 million following the increased waste capitalization in the West Pit.

The National Safety Council eliminates preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

The experts are prepared to investigate Randall Sullivan’s theory that a second set of flood tunnels lay off of the island’s southern shore.

Group production from continuing operations is expected to increase to 615-695koz in 2019 and AISC is expected to be between $760-810/oz due to the benefit of the Ity CIL project coming online in early Q2-2019. More details on individual mine guidance have been provided in the above sections.

- Royalties paid increased due to both greater gold sales and a higher realized gold price, representing approximately $67/oz sold for 2018 compared to $59/oz for 2017.

“This rainy season has had varying patterns where the northern part is experiencing abnormal rainfall while here (Southern province), a drought has affected the crop, so we will be doing more of relief food distribution and also find other ways of managing problems caused by the varying weather patterns.”

Saying he hates to be the dog in the manger, Marty says, “I think that’s just rust-colored, Gary.”
