Zeev. According to Twiford 1 ton of head ore yields 30-35 pounds of primary concentrate which already contains the copper. The smelting with very little added, or sometimes nothing, yields granulated copper metal. With smelting there is a loss of 20-25%. This yields around 20-25 pounds. The copper metal is then dissolved with acid and the product is diluted 3:1 with water. This is then sent through the resin columns. Certain procedures in the reduction of the head ore are proprietary and cannot be discussed. Sorry about the 18 pounds. Regards,Ed IMO today's result is preliminary. Larger returns will develop as the process becomes further developed.
