an additional column will be implemented when we see the BFS (bank feasability study) of FYI. Additional value of by-products hope the amount of money is very high
as Roland Hill said "a couple of thousand dollars" that means High grade HPQ. The interesting part is the amount of HPQ FYI will produce.
I think we will have to wait for the BFS to be completed to get this information. Sheduled for Q2 in 2019. My estimation is 10-15000t of HPQ.
Any other thoughts?
