In addition, with the significant additional costs of conducting two production tests (rather than only one as originally planned in the previous budget of $900,000) and the unforeseen additional costs associated with site works and mobilization of an appropriate camp from Geraldton (rather than Derby area), the likely revised budget is now circa $1.8 million.
