Not disputing that ARV will end up with a plant that might be usefull in processing bulk samples.
But when its owned by a company where the CEO has never actually got anything into production and a geologist who was the former CEO who thought so much of the companies mining projects he thought the best use of the companies scarce funds was to throw money down a hole in funding a "blockbuster movie", i think the chances are slim that anything will be achieved. Add to that a Shiek on the board who has shown no interest whatever in the company, has not helped one iota.

Different story entirely if ARV was managed by a competent crew.

The whole conglomerate story is fast falling into a hole....not because the potential isnt there, but noone in any of the companies involved seem to have any idea how to deal with it.
