RE: RE: SATORI SEEKS TO RECOVER GOLD FROM TAILINGS I heard they have an agreement with a party that handles all logistics, etc. and basically sends a share of the profits to BUD. I think this other party trucks the tailings to the US . . . and I suppose they have some toll milling arrangement with a 3rd party that has a roaster.
They don't need a roaster . . . just rebuild the old mill . . . crush/grind, gravity, flotation, cyanide leach as before. At today's gold price . . . Tartan Lake would be very profitable even if they only achieve 85% recovery and let the refractory go into the tailings.
I am more concerned about the size of the resource. They need to increase measured and indicated. I don't know what drilling costs are at Tartan Lake, but probably makes sense to dewater the mine (maybe only partially) and drill from underground which is much cheaper.
