Yes. Heiko, I mean, on the guidance, we're always trying to be conservative on our guidance. And I was trying to hint a bit that if we get 600,000 pounds in a quarter, we can put a lot of pounds out there or send it to the mill. Our biggest limitation has been the truck and trucking from the mill, and we're building that up. We currently have about 10 trucks per day, 5 days a week, and we're trying to get that up to, well, it will average no more than on an average on a daily basis, 7 days a week, no more than 10 trucks per day. But that's really the limitation. I can tell you, if there was no limitation on the amount of ore that we're hauling from the mill or to the mill, we could be putting a lot of more Uranium down on the ground right now. But what we're doing is, as we're producing the Uranium, we're also doing the required development work down to the Juniper zone as we are advancing the development there so that we can put in additional drill stations and we can do more drilling. So we're trying to keep it balanced. And, but yes, the trucking is the major impediment there, but we're working to resolve that, and we're building up momentum on that front. And also, it's grade dependent. So you have to have the trucks and you have to have the grade. The average grade we've mined thus far has been about 2%, which is very, very high grade. So you can get about 30 pounds per tonne in every truck. And so that's the reason for the range. We hope to beat guidance, okay? But we haven't changed the guidance. And our goal is always to exceed guidance. But until we have all those pieces together, Heiko, we're being a little conservative.
