I think the 'pilot scale mining' would be more in the order of a DSO-type bulk sample without necessarily processing onsite - either sending to a lab for bulk metallurgical testing or to a processing facility elsewhere (likely China), hopefully to support off-take discussions. Doesn't really make sense to build a small pilot plant onsite which would involve a significant outlay on infrastructure etc when in all likelihood they'll pull the trigger on the 2mtpa plant in the next 12 months or so.
