Current PEA mine model ----------> wash, scrub ores to liberate surface clung uranium.
2012 Tech Report speaks about clean sands respond well to upgrading 10x fold.
50% loss yet..... could be resolved if ------------> liberated from sands -------> milling.
If in sands.... uranium could also be in course gravel rocks.
Gravels -------> breakdown to sands.
Why mention this ?
Course gravels and post washed sands-------> 75% of waste ore.
Yet if milled -----------> could current resources increase by double ? ( less recovery rates )
= Huge bonus buffer for COAM or other interested in Armarillo. 
SECOND SUBJECT -----------> SONIC VIBRATION ( descale uranium )
2012 chart above mentions wet scrubbing performed better than dry scrubbing.
If anyone has ever seen sonic vibration descaling in action it literally vibes free
the toughest scalings.
LET'S ENVISION onsite / in pit dry wash plant with modification of sonic descaler
Ore placed in turbine drum with interior brushes and modified with sonic vibration.
Brushes look after larger caking while sonic vibration takes care of.... fine particulants.
Let's suppose the sonic adapter attached to dry plant rings in @
$10 million. How could this change the capex / opex mine model ?
= Dramatically changes the $$$$.
Processing no longer handles the 23 - 25 million tonnes.
Instead.... mine cost and back fill of $4.97 per per tonne x
23,460,764 tonnes
= $116.6 million
+ $ 10 million sonic vibe modification = $126 million ( front end plant reduction )
Let's now remove 75% waste =
17,595,573 tonnes ---------> off to processing @ $8.52 cost per tonne
x $8.52 per tonne
= $149,914,281 usd
2024 PEA PROCESSING COSTS
$199,900,000 million usd
- $ 149,914,281 million usd ( new sonic method )
= $ 50 million in savings If milling entered in targeting all sands and course gravels...
All the more uranium.
2012 tech report hints there's uranium is locked in sands / gravels. ( milling to liberate ) 49%
2019 write up says.... no uranium
in gravels. I'd perform a double take on....
milling all sands test uranium values
then do same to course gravels
= report uranium %
= before jvco
Cheers.....
That's all i've got for now.
Few bumper bounces trying to figure out PEA calculations.
Few good topics that address potentially more value.
- Sonic Vibe ( $50 million saved ? )
- Pretest sands, gravels for more uranium ( mill test each kind separately )
- Ree's not factored
,- Lake water and sub aquifer uranium potential
- Capping tad aggressive with additional 6% reduction of resources ( 3% + 3% ) PEA
