It has done very well in lab trials and the challenge is to see if that can be replicated at the scale we need for commercial production. Even then, we would want to optimise the process so tweak the concentration of the solution, the size of the grind the rock is milled to, temperature, agitation, tank size etc for maximum efficiency. Can it be a continuous process or do we need multiple tanks etc. But if it works as we anticipate then we will have a safer process that produces copper, silver and gold from the start. It would be fantastic for the economics of the project.
