Yes a balance between metal prices, recovery rates and mining methodology. Randy did speak about significant mine plan savings. Time will tell.

Recoveries through Bio Leach etc VS a roasting circuit will be another huge factor. No one wanted Metates because of grade, low metal prices and because it was refractory ore that required expensive treatment to liberate the ore. Bio leach has come a long way and may improve economics a lot.

Cheers,
