Yes ....... the grain size or rock chips can be variable within one Breccia from very fine to lumpy and everything in between........can depend how much displacement across the fault. There may be quite a lot of Quartz and Feldspar deposition with and characterizing the material within the Brecciated faulted zone.
But sediments can be very hard and if they are old there might be xtl growth so both, from the miners point of view may need milling in order to concentrate and separate out the valuable minerals.
We can come in after all this treatment has happened....... spread it out on concrete pad or stick in a big tank and leach out the metal. So reference to Breccia is more to characterize the Mining involvement with which we will become associated. Seems its well oxidised (also assisted by the Brecciated character (oxidised near surface) of the deposit being or been mined to create the mined ore to mill or the material on mine dumps we will leach if that is the case.)
Remember our process is better suited to oxidised ores which hither to havnt been the preferred ore ..... preferred ores are sulphides as they are amenable to the acidic process presently used. and so polluting. (Hence Turkey still has abundance of high grade Zn oxide ore (10% !!) and why we are so helpful in helping them unlock the chemistry with our patented processes giving them a Zn product)
As we work thru the near surface ore (oxidised ) we eventually reach ore which hasn't changed from sulphide to oxide under the influence of oxygenated surface waters. Under the surface oxide layer there will be a zone where the ore is mixed sulphide and oxide but with increasing depth it progressively goes more sulphide until below the depth where surface waters and oxygen can reach it will be all sulphide (if the primary deposit is a sulphide)
Something I wanted to pick up on during AGM. Does our process eliminate the need to smelt ie straight to electro winning. Someone might provide Q somewhere. ?/ I am fagged out for a while now and need to give attention to some other winners.
BIKWIK ,,,,, FUNKY
It was great to meet you guys. And its good to realize we have such decent posters with some real technical savy in support.. Next year Rodders !!!
Don't forget the V project in Townsville E Auz is still very live. THREE decent prospects hot hot hot.
