<<The figure of .064 0zs.comes from their own website. If you convert
that to grams it is .064 x (1oz.=28.349)=1.81g/t.>>

Thanks..would you have the URL. I search for it and couldn't find it.

<<they have over 52 million ounces of silver. With a projected mine life of at least 11 years they can, and probably will, produce more than 2-2.5 million ounces of silver per year. Given those figures 52 million divided by 11 years would work out to almost 4.73 million ounces silver/year >>

Usually in those gold/silver heap leaching operations, the recovery rate of silver is far below the one for gold, often in the 50%-60% range. Anyway, the figure is between 2.5M and 4M I guess.

No matter what the precise numbers are, it is a superb operation.
