Production Bonus

Production Incentive kicks in at 1100 tpd or higher, no payout for less than 1100 tpd at the closure date
Payout is approximately $13 per tpd from Nov.1 to closure date at 1100 tpd
Payout above that is $0.13 per tpd
Payout is per day of operation.
For example if we average 1300 tpd over the period the payout would be $39 per day of operation For a 1300tpd average the calculation is $13(based on the first 1100 tpd) + $26 (200 tpd * .13)=$39 per day
Only full time employees on the payroll on the date of closure will be eligible Bonuses to individual employees may be adjusted down in the case of excessive absenteeism
Given that the recovery boiler went down before the announcement we won't start the clock until Nov 1st or 2nd
