Gold has 5 cents seawater in it per tonne and I can get it out for about 1/5 cent per ton. hardly pumping. a tonne is 200 gallons. a 100gpm pump that raise the stuff one foot is using 1/3 hp which costs 6 cents per hour to run and runs 30 tons of seawater which has 1.50 of extractable gold in one hour. there is no reagant cost and no fouling. except for the plant cost. Deal with that 5 cents. do you think that is lots? That is .0151 ppm or .0004 ounces per ton. I can get er out, want to try? Even if we prove break even at 100 gPS we will be famous. plant demo will run about 20K. lab extraction would be about 3 to 5 K. ----------------------------------------------------
