to be, uh a consequence of increased mind movements, um, some minging contract performance challenges, that I mentioned, and in the plant space. Uh, the offering being slightly off where we wanted, and some delays around commissioning to provide a plant, including some extended shutdown. So um, and in summary, quite a few contributing factors playing through-through to a cost impact. And Brian will speak to those in a little bit more uh, detail, uh, later, and innovation. So moving from to Pilgan processing plant, and now, speaking to Ngungaju. Uh, the-the December quarter was the quarter where-where you had the ignition switch, uh, so to speak. pUh, first concentrate from the call circuit coming through, um, in early October. and that operation, we're moving it through a stage ramp up, c-calling circuit, float u-up to follow. Slow circuit, we're on track to-to effectively start that emissions which are for circuit. Um, and this quarter, so… inaudible uh, following w- what we wanted… what we wanted it to be, uh, some maintenance issues contributing to it, um, but all said and done: good to get the-the wheels turning, um, and production starting to flow for the operation. Last thing on the inaudible production guidance, uh inaudible given the labor challenges, and some of the ramp up challenges we've had… our… we're commencing a review, and we'll look to revise their guidance, uh, to have early results, when they come out to course. So that completes so the update. Uh, moving to Barcelona reserve just a-a note there, that during the quarter, uh, we did do a significant reserve upgrade, so this is a combination of-of bringing in the Altura, our reserve and resource and-and to inaudible minerals one. So a big increase, 47% um, upgrade from the prior year, to 162 million tons, So, due to that upgrade, what you call support, uh, the ramp up we're doing, and the progressive expansion plan. So, lastly the expansion plans, where are we at? So, where I started earlier, we talked about expansion in terms of stage two, and an incremental stages of-of stage two. With a drop that uh, naming convention, and chose to remove… to more simplified uh, labeling, inaudible the p2680 project, I now recall, is the next incremental expansion, beyond the ramparts that we're in the thick of at the moment. This is provided 100,000 uh tons additional to our total production capacity, bringing us up to 680,000 tons per annum. Where are we at with this project? Uh, we're in the closing stages of de works and-and tagging it by the, uh, end of June quarter, all going well. Beyond that P1000 Expansion Project, which is, as the name suggests, heading out to 1000, uh kilotons per annum, and aggregate production from-from the operations, and we're targeting it by the… that expansion and the December quarter of this year. And obviously the project's space, administering um, project, which to remind everyone, is the production of-of the value added high purity, and chemical salts. inaudible is-is in the finalization stage at the moment. we're also, uh, completing an economic evaluation for that, and looking to announce that uh, up in the coming weeks. Um, beyond that uh, scoping study anouncment, we are uh, positively disposed to moving forward with that project. Um, with that partn Kelics ultimately, to commercialize um, that-that project and that approach, and-and bring what we think superior product to markets are. So, the ones of space and we look forward to updating on-on that accordingly. So, that's a rap up of inaudible reserve and projects, and at this point, I'll hand it over to Brian. All right, thanks! Thanks very much Dan, And good morning, or good afternoon, everyone. Um, if I think about the uh, the financial impact of the-the quarter that we just had, I-I sort of put it in-in sort of three-three-three different aspects. One is: obviously a very, very positive price environment, very strong operating margins generated, but with some of the operating challenges that-that was just uh, just gone through. We've-we've obviously had. Um, some impact in terms of higher, um, you know… operating costs. In terms of the-the physicals, um, we produce just over 83,000 pounds of spodumene concentrate, uh and so, about 75,000 pounds of concentrate that was produced on the Pilgram, and around 3,600 tons of concentrate was produced from the Ngungaju plant. So that uh, concentration increase inaudible of about 5000 tons, and we-we've closed the quarter with cloning stocks of about 16,000 tons, which-which represents about um, half a month's worth of production. In terms of price and operating margin, now I think everyone's aware, it has been quite an extraordinary improvement in pricing over the last quarter. And we averaged a-a price of somewhere between us 1.7 $5.8 $100 on an AC basis. And just as a reminder that compares to pricing of 850 to $900 time that we uh, pay for the term that's quite extraordinary athletes and pricing. So with-with their pricing environment, clearly we're generating a much stronger operating margins or margin was about us 115 metric tons per inch for the term self employed under 75,000 tons from Pilgan. Um, so with that strong operating margin. There's been a-asignificant increase in the company's cash position. Sp, this position will have a $137 million dollar amount, obviously we're gonna require cash required cash but the DLT, as well for for shipment that occurred in accordance with the $1377 million at the end of December, we now find ourselves turning $245 million dollars. That's-thats an increase of just under $109 million dollars. But that increase come from, so the-the cash operating margin and the trillion without generating revenue there's about 116 million dollars for the quarter. We also through the trunk that we sell and nitrogen even in ramp up and commissioning phase, we actually still generate a positive cash flow of about buying the salad and 3600 pounds for my particular operation. Capital has been acquired a business with about 20 to $27 million and money spent on the pilgrim plant improvements on the restart of the magnitude operation the commissioning and also on the visual waste mining is currently being undertaken. But that was largely offset by the drawdown of updates. is offset buy the drawn down of updates. So during the quarter, we took the opportunity to increase our debt inaudible with, with our banks by US $20 million. Um, that was done deliberately to help us fund the, the restart with the managing operations. So that, that year end $29 million dollar agreement was signed, signed up during the quarter and the moneys were drawn down in December, and that was, uh, inaudible 20, $27 million Australian dollars. inaudible paid about $2 million dollars, um, in interest inaudible and inaudible was paid a, a cash sweep under the, the debt facility of about 2, US $2 million dollars as well. So at the end, end of the quarter, we'll end up with about $245 million dollars of cash, and that represents a, a, a, net cash position, so net update of around about $68 million. So clearly
