‘In the meantime, we are engaged in discussions with engineering firms about how to build a plant at Pepas. It's early days, but we have a good idea of scale and metallurgy, but the issue is the size and weight of the kit we can get up a road to site. We can build a bigger road of course, but it's a trade off between cost of the road and cost of the kit. Fortunately, at this small scale, most of the major bits of gear can either be broken down into small bits, or welded together on site.
We are still weighing options of toll treating v building a plant, and the jury will remain out for some time. But as we find more ore, the balance shifts gradually toward our own plant. No rush, but we need the numbers so we know when that cross over happens.’
