Nice find, By George. O'Kane Consulatants says $8.11 cost per T, so with the new $18.15 Tonne we are at a GREAT PROFIT RATION. Keep on testing, maybe the 10 bucks profite can go up, in Jan 2000 tests...why NOT!
<<..Processing assumptions incorporated in the analysis of alternatives include: 1) the grade
of ore
(millfeed) and associated recoveries, as determined in previous testing at Lakefield,
would be as
stated in the table below; 2) ground ore would be processed in a flotation circuit to
produce 1,200
tonnes/day of bulk concentrate; 3) the concentrate would be pressure leached in
autoclaves at 220
degrees Centigrade; 4) PGMs and gold would be recovered from the leach solution; 5)
copper
would be recovered as LME grade copper cathode in a conventional copper SX-EW
circuit; 6)
nickel and cobalt would be sequentially recovered by solvent extraction, followed by
electrowinning of nickel to make cathodes, and the precipitation of saleable cobalt
sulfide.
