Re "I would also guess the variability of the ore also has a lot to do with the difficulty in figuring out a process to extract metals consistently. GPGI seems to be having a great deal of difficulty coming up with a consistent product, thus the difficulty in refining it. I wonder if the Maxam-Hewlett process can deal with this problem.", I doubt it.

Recall that Bateman's rejection of IPM's process as 'non-economic' involved the need to tailor the leach conditions to the specific ore sample to be processed.
IPM, GPGI, Maxam, and Naxos all started out saying their type of dirt was surely homogeneous--check with them now.
