RE:RE:What am I missing here?Gekko has made multiple trips to site to work with metallurgy on bringing up recoveries, at the end of the day the bulk sample that was used to design the circuit wasnt completely representable of the ore body to be mined. That, and the resin stripping circuit is struggling big time.

The fact that no one at TMAC is mentioning any of this (that the manufacture screwed up) and isn’t demanding answers from GEKKO is really beyond me?
What was Gekko’s spec’ed recovery rate when the plant was designed? 82% with today’s technology is awful – it should be closer to 92-94%? Even a fine gold, locked in a complex sulfide body should be able to reach 88-90% recovery?
Would love to discuss this if anyone has more information
