RE: Gentlemen - Comments Please
RE: Gentlemen - Comments PleaseI'm not a metallurgist, but graity separation is a very, very preliminary mineral processing technique. The fact they are recovering up to 87% in the gravity process is very good, and I would assume most of it is as free gold.
The platinum/palladium is likely being held up in a less dense mineral that is not being recovered from the gravity separation process. I believe they are working on the chemical leaching aspect of the metallurgy now, and results for that should be out in 2 weeks (lol, or 2 years). They may be trying out other mineral processing techniques as well.
