Scorpion,
In theory, yes you can go after the free gold using standard processes and then use the J/L process to extract additional metals. This is just my opinion of course but my reasoning is as follows. The Johnson-Lett process is similar other processes, including micro milling, which in many cases are explicitly used on tailings to extract metal after standard low cost extraction methods. So the easy answer to your question is that is how such techniques are already being used elsewhere. The tougher answer is to say that it is impossible to say exactly what combination of processes will work best until a mine feasibility study is conducted. Each deposit is unique and it is tough to say what processes will work best until further study is done.
