I though i provided a superb - side hint.

For those who didn't open the - pfd
It is important to note from the Ni and NiS assays; the Ni assay represents the total amount of Ni that is present, and the sulphide Ni (NiS) is an analytical indicator for the amount of Ni that can actually be recovered by flotation.
Assay results indicate that for the master composite nickel is mainly present as the sulphide form (88%). A portion of the nickel (about 12%), however, is non-sulphide and most likely in solid solution with amphiboles, serpentine & amphiboles (substitution in crystal structure).
It has been reported that the nickel content of the silicate minerals is about 0.1 to 0.3% Ni.

Proves = 2 separate nickels.
Now marry
Former junior deducted ( 0.10% ) ss nickel
2017 Press - went all the way - can't process crystaline, metallics in silicates,
solid solution.and well cut offs were mentioned and 80% inferred lost.
Then, 2023 PFS - additional work on extraction ( acknowledges )
Then, VRIC 2024 Video.
Then ask,
If FPX also seeks the Nickel Silicate ( MHP ) hydroxide
Why not another junior ?
Whether blended ores or.... Separate silicates and process later.
Previous junior outlined this very protocol.
