Yeah, I've got Elise and JP just extending the young praddy sector. We're just trying to keep an eye on what's happening inside the block with these continuous yakkas, so I'm just in here watching it to make sure it doesn't undercut us and come up underneath, so yeah, gotta have some intensity to it through these yakkas as they junction, but yeah, we'll try and manage the intensity as it hits the track.
5310679

Yeah, roger. Is that all terrain or have you got any wind influence over?
5310671
13:20:36
17.4s

There's a little wind in here, but I think it's just purely from the burn making its own wind pushing up slope as it draws in. There's good patches of low fill, which I'm tying it into, so, yeah, just making sure that someone put eyes on these yakkas down here.

Yeah, Prady, there's pretty serious yackers. From that point I last for you, it is coming through the block quite nicely. We're going to thicken up the edge and then I'll come inside the block just to add some spots through these yackers just to make sure we're on top of it and it doesn't overrun us anywhere and hit you, come up underneath us onto your track.

Yeah, Andy, Eden's progressed about a third of the way along this track where they're edging, me and Trem is still feeling in, but back towards the test van, the depth is maximum 60 metres in sections, but it obviously drops away as you get further to the west.
5310679

Roger, that sounds good, mate. I think you've got a bit more time up your sleeve. If you could just consolidate that knoll and then get to the next track kick by 1400. Over.
5310623
12:54:49
17.8s

Yeah, roger. If we're still going to get that north-eastly influence, just let Eden know to pull up short that north-western corner, and then we'll edge down that western boundary if need be first.

5310671
12:52:36

Copy that, that's what we're working to. I noted the weather that came through about the northeast and certainly it's being drawn in off of this eastern hose lay nicely. For your info, we've just hit the yacker patch, so I've got Elise continuing off the hose and JP just spotting in just to carry it. Every now and again we'll go even deeper just to see what it's doing with the fuel.

Hey Brady, I'm just wondering the status of your eastern dam. I've got 3,000 litres left, but yeah, just wanted to make a judgement on how much water you guys have used so far, over.

Yeah, affirm. I'm probably going to stay put at the western dam, we've been filling another one from the top, and then I'll probably have to go back down to Black Hill. Over.

Yeah, roger, mate, the Marino 34 is aware of their water and all that, so yeah, they'll come through us and we'll give you yellow when we need more. Over.
