NC, I don't know the answers to your questions, but here are some thoughts. Last December Zenyatta announced that they had eliminated the re-cycling of NaOH. Would it have been possible to re-cycle the NaOH in a closed loop so that there would be no requirement for sulfuric acid? Although the tailings would still require treatment, maybe a rinse of dilute hydrochloric acid would suffice. And perhaps Zenyatta considers dilute hydrochloric acid to be no big deal. In the September 2014 news release Zenyatta used the phrase "without the use of aggressive acids", leaving some wiggle room for non-aggressive acids. I don't recall any news releases or quotes where the Zenyatta purification process is characterized as definitively as not requiring any acids - always appears to be some sort of modifier in the phrasing. But 99% of the Zennanites were probably convinced that Zenyatta would not use any acids at all in the purification process.
