I understand that some prior work suggested that the mill would produce two concentrates which was one of the major problems as neither concentrate on its own was marketable. Which concentrate are you referring to? How big was the test tube in the lab scale test? The metal values of Ni and Cu are not high enough to make this work even if you're right about the new leach results. What are the recoveries on the Pt, Pd and Co? This is where the marginal value in the concentrate may make this work. What was the material ground to? Can you describe the grain size of the potential economic mineralisation and the nature of the intergrowths? The pyrite? Other possible deleterious inclusions?
