On another noteFor those of you who may have read my post with the analogy of my experience with running a water plant at a mine I worked at? I had posted how treating the water at a higher flow rate did not achieve the same results as when I operated the water plant at a higher flow rate regardless of how I treated it chemically. Totally irellevant to what is going on with the separation process.
I don't know where my head was at that day but for those who read that post and might have been given some doubts as to whether the separation process would work, I realized this morning how worng my example was when it comes to GMA's process. There are no chemicals being used just an organic solvent with an electrical charge VERY Environmentally friendly.
This is just my opinion but if the separation process proves to be commercially viable then permitting for a new mine could be fast tracked. Easier to get water permits as well as permitting for a sedimentation and tailings ponds etc.
