Those are the tests Metcon is doing that will tell us what percentage of the metals can be extracted economically. So far at Alamo Dorado indications are that much of the silver is in a chloride form, which is highly soluble as opposed to other silver salts, and thus cheaper to extract as less milling and less time on the leach pad will be necessary. This should be one of the shining points of the deposit. The numbers to look for are the percentage of recovery during a fixed time, and the milling size required. The bigger the better for both numbers, the former being most important. Seventy per cent would be great, while eighty per cent would be fantastic, imho. Claude goes into this upthread, i think.
