Tim, I suspect that the smelting is just another method to separate out "other" elements that would flood or pollute the extraction method. I understand that most nickel and copper producers recover PGMs during their normal refinement process. I guess my simple minded thought is to let others simply pollute raw copper with PGM rich precipitate and then let normal copper refinement recover the PGMs at the end. Could GPGI sell a PGM pollutant to a copper company that wants to also work in precious metals? There seems to be a number of possible permutations possible. That may let GPGI concentrate more on ore (a pun) and leach and let others do the processing as by product. Just a thought.
