UMZ Recovery $ Value

UMZ Recovery $ Value

With such low recoveries it is hard to imagine what they are leaving in their tailings.

Silver alone is  ~$50 million annually that they do not recover despite crushing all that ore.  That's 54%  at 83.2g/t, 76,422 tonnes in July.  That is 1,470,000 ounces of silver in the waste each year.

 

 Perhaps they are re-feeding some of the tailings through the circuit with fresh ore.  But hopefully they are coming up with a second run to recover more.   In any case  they are profitable now and they will only become more so as they figure out how to recover more.  I expect some of those stock options to go to the guy who does figure it out, not the idiots that delayed the UMZ commissioning a year.
