RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Straight From The Horse's MouthThank you MDJ. It so much more than applying a system. I spend hours, sometimes days, looking at all the logs and assays, plotting them out for comparison and continuity. We need to know the slope of th deposit, obstructions, accessibility from surface etc. The plant design is equally important. Again, different based on ore but also climate and utilities. The mining system is developed from phase chemistry and basic dissoluition studies. Add 50 plus years of practical process design experience.The key is to truly understand what you need to have happen, with the resources available.
The biggest jet engine in the world sells for about $35,000,000. Surely we should br able to build a simple potash mine for less than that. And yes we can.
