While going through our photos taken at a mine public lookout recently at Ravenswood, I spotted this one where the company states " Nolans Pit gets 2 million tonnes of gold per annum"
Thats either a massive boost to royalties or a missprint, and should be ammended to gold bearing ore. The public display has, by its faded condition been there a fair while and if the statement is ammiss I would have thought the company wuold have corrected it to protect their reporting integrity

At a guess I think it should say 2 million ounces.

Ken,
Maybe 2 million tonnes of ore processed per year or 200,000 ounces of gold won per year from the ore.

That mine does not a high grade ore.

I thought it would be something along that line RA. The sticking point is that the company do not seem inclined to correct the print mistake, but allow the visitor to ingest and spread the untruth.
