RE: RE: RE: Repost of BirdmanA beautifully simple and quick outline of molybdenum can be found here:
Molybdenum Processing
The crushing and grinding stages are lumped into a 'Mill' facility, I think. This requires the most power.
The floating and leaching stages can be lumped into a Concentrator facility which also requires a Tailings Pond. This also requires suitable amounts of water so a water supply system becomes necessary.
As for a roasting facility, it seems like that would be a substantial and unnecessary capital cost given the proximity of Endako. If the strength of the Lone Pine is based on low startup costs then roasting might be a liability?
I think the best site comparison I have come across is the Copper Mountain Project in the South of BC. It is an old mine being put back into production. Their infrastructure consists of a truck shop, a power connection, water supply and tailings pond facility. Their feasibility report is very clear and easy to read (though it lacks visuals). They have a good outline of costs that, I imagine, would probably be similar to what the Lone Pine would require as a mine. I suggest looking at the table on p. 156.
