Cost/benefit analysis for Albany circuits. Is that what actually drove the decision to walk back the NAOH and forego the recycling circuit?

Did they weigh the capes/opex metrics of adding the recycling circuit because at the extreme NOAH charge it definitely would be necessary …………. against a drastically reduced NAOH charge and subsequent lower purity, allowing them to drop the costly recycling circuit and not significantly increasing what was going to be a huge CAPEX on its own?

If that's the case ……… one could likely add another $20 million or so(?) to the current CAPEX for recycling NAOH and then consider another significant addition to CAPEX for the shaping and coating circuit.

US$500 million wasn't out of the realm of possibility for Albany CAPEX with all those things considered so it would make sense that adjustments were made to accept lower purity in order to reduce NAOH charge drastically , allowing for the recycling circuit to be dropped.

Makes total sense to me and correlates well to the chopped resource with modified cut-off that the PEA summary indicated.
