I emailed Bruce yesterday the following,
“Basecase testing has shown that each product can be successfully recovered from thebrine using established technologies.“
What is establishedtechnologies? Is there an exisiting process that just needs to be purchased /constructed to feed the brine through for extraction ? or is it more like thescientific equipment exists that makes this possible and yet to be proven atscale?
And I am sure he does not sleep as he responded with the below during the night:-
"Established technologies are those that are already beingused to produce iodine and bromine. For example there are three commonly usedmethod of extracting iodine from brine, these have been used for around 100years. So yes there are existing processes that are not patented and arecommonly used. The technologies are proven."
So IMO Potential OT'ers would be aware there will be no issue with scale once JORC is proven and we will be producers of multiple minerals.
