Ann: Sulphide Plant Expansion Study Update, page-27

GBB, thanks for the refresher on the dissolution issues relating to antimony and specifically the stibnite fraction and its complex nature.

New papers are always a good information resource and as long as they are consistent with the metallurgy being applied may help resolve the problem.

Testwork is a funny thing and one important part (and where most feasibility studies go wrong) they have to have a consistent correlation to the ore mineralogy that is being proposed for the solver. If you get this wrong it could have a major impact on future cashflows.

A $15M investment in unlocking some of the gold value via improved recovery is a good thing, but it does not speak for the majority of the ore on offer especially the complex high grade zones.

This will be at least the 4th time around that i know of to try solve this complex met problem but today that challenge still remains.
