The results obtained show that the crushing system currently operates with delays that represent 22.8% of the net operating time and that the most significant delays are "large stones in grid R-1", "lack of ore" and "non-operational delays" "; with 31.8%, 22.5% and 19.2% of composition respectively, for a total of 73.5% of the total delay time. Basically, due to these delays, it is not possible to comply with the monthly crushing program.
