Claude, with a deposit like PFN's, after stripping and digging what intermediary process needs to take place beefore it can be sent to a smelter?

I am only familiar with gold and silver. If PFN were gold or silver they would just need to crush and heap leach. At Zortman/Landusky Pegasus was producing profitable gold at .01 oz per ton. They would blast and then leach - they didn't even crush. Not only that, but they blasted in such a way that the ore went in one direction and the waste rock in another. That contractor is the same outfit that now has MAI. Pretty smart group.

PDL mentions something about a concentrator?
