Yes, there are plans for both. CAPEX optimization is planned for next year, targeted around June or July. After that, or in parallel, blending for feed management will be added so users can set minimum and maximum average grades to send to the plant, and the system will determine the best combination of material from the pit and from stockpiles to satisfy that constraint.
Product blending is also planned, with different implementation options currently being evaluated.
