Cool bananas.
There is the point that Almonty had a 640k throughput, then to increase to 1.2 mil.
The first part was for Plansee/GTP.
The second part seems to have been in play for many many years with South Korean Govt. and maybe LG/Samsung.
Of course Lewis will not say anything until it is writen in ink.
But I think this deal has been in play since the start with the latter, otherwise why would a ramp up happen ?.
That grey building (my obsesion) still tells me that the mills in the first process building are also designed to be used for the nano plant.
So the first grind material gets split into two streams by using two large pumps to do the initial gravity part of the process., ie pump all slurry up to the top of the building for a cyclone separation which needs pumped moderate pressure feed to opperate, after this all the rest and with a bit more reclaimed/recycled water all the rest goes down through the various separation stages as a gravity process, so there is no more need to use electrical pumping as the product will just trickle down.
If this plant was on a flat ground site, everything would need to be pumped to the next process stage.
Many more pumps and no gravity.
The main reson for a gravity plant is to minimise the need to use powered. pumping
Frugal and smart.
