If, in the final Year, the scheduled production as so revised would exceed the production which would result from a daily rate of 118,000 tonnes per day, the excess shall be carried forward to the subsequent Year (and the Cut-off Date shall be extended accordingly) and appropriate adjustments made to the production of recovered metal for that Year. |
(v) | Each reduction and adjustment of the Product Schedule pursuant to (iii) and/or (iv) above shall be made to the nearest whole mil.lbs or 000 oz. as the case may be.” |
