Dear David

Based on an expected final crop of 8.2 million tonnes, forecast factory throughputs, no further rain disruptions, working through Christmas Day and the transfer of at least 4,000 tonnes per day from Inkerman Mill, 5,000 tonnes per day from Kalamia Mill and 5,000 tonnes per day from Pioneer Mill into Invicta Mill, harvesting is currently expected to finish as per the schedule below:

  • INVICTA – Finish harvesting (Invicta growers) 17 December; finish harvesting (with transfer) 21 December
  • INKERMAN – Finish harvesting 29 December
  • KALAMIA – Finish harvesting 28 December
  • PIONEER – Finish harvesting 28 December

For more details, see the letter attached.

Best regards

Good morning all

  • Inkerman restarted just before midnight last night. Zero for 4,300 tonnes cut yesterday is about 11am. Some high muds causing issues. 10,200 tonne loading today.
  • Pioneer ran out of yesterday’s cane just after 2am this morning. Restarted about 8:30am loading just over 11,700 tonnes for the day
  • Kalamia wont zero yesterday’s cane until 2:30pm after they broke the reclaimer arm last night and are battling with high muds today. Loading 8000 tonnes for the day
  • No harvesting at Invicta today. Best case at the moment is harvesting tomorrow for a Thursday night restart
Kind regards,

Burdekin mills update – 22.11.22

Good morning all,

Widespread thunderstorms across the district overnight saw falls of between 5-75mm.

Inkerman

  • 3-50mm
  • One group cut last night, one cutting this morning, more interested in going later. Inkerman is in a clean today so should be in a position to crush any cane cut at Inkerman today

Invicta

  • 20-75mm
  • No groups cutting at the moment but there are others interested for later on. Invicta is in a B side clean so zero hour on A side is late this afternoon, so Invicta should be in a position to crush any cane cut at Invicta today

Kalamia

  • 5-60mm
  • No cutting at the moment. One group cut 8 bins this morning then stopped, one group cut 56 last night. This will be crushed before mill runs out today. Groups wanting to start later today have committed about 6000 tonnes. Restart plans will be reviewed later in the day

Pioneer

  • 5-45mm
  • Two harvesters cutting at the moment. 72 cut last night Others showing interest for later on. Restart plans will be reviewed later in the day
Kind regards,
