Aussies, they FLOAT to 99.8% purity. Even using thermal processing, the final costs will be far lower than people normally associate with that process. Plus, being in Quebec, they even get a price break on hydro, especially compared to what it would cost just over the Ontario border.

And, to get to 99.99+, they can use caustic bake, so they get purer than ZEN is quoting, in a quick and easy process (either way, actually).

I really haven't been studying CCB that carefully because it seems to me they have squat. If they did by some kind of miracle find a couple more truck fulls do they know how much it would cost to get it to 99.99 how much heat etc...apparently any deposit can get those numbers but at what cost.

Aussies, that's an excellent point. The cost to get to that high purity level has never been discussed Chief and the others. They hope nobody notices that they only post of the positive issues and they ignore the negatives like exactly how much does it cost CCB to get to that 99.99% purity using thermal upgrading + any other costs ---->the all in total upgrading cost/kg.
