Meanwhile,
claystone samples have already been collected and are
currently undergoing preparation and analysis at Cypress’ Tonopah, Nevada, site
prior to its shipment to the pilot plant in Amargosa Valley.
https://aheadoftheherd.com/cypress-development-tight-lithium-supply-means-growth-opportunities-for-miners-in-nevadas-clayton-valley/ Two questions for anyone. (1) Is this the last task CYP has to do before plant startup?
(2) If this is the last task, then does anyone know about how long it takes to do the "preparation and analysis" of our "Claystone samples"?
Just my own thoughts here. Can it be that the preparation of the claystone samples is just the breaking up of the larger chunks,, so they'll fit into the hopper of the first stainless steel vat?
Maybe they have to do some testing as to what is the optimum size to use and what mechanical method to use to break it up with.
Also to concider is they might be thinking two steps ahead. By this I'm thinking they may be thinking of the best way and or machinery to quickly and systematically break up 4 or 5 truck loads of claystone for the (pilot) plant, but at the same time think of the best method and or machinery to use to break up the claystone for the commercial plant. After all they'll need those specifications for the (FS), if we ever get that far. What I mean is the new owner will do the (FS) etc. if it goes that way.
I'm thinking Bill could be working on the (FS) as they're working on the pilot plant. The last (NR) said things done in the pilot plant will be used in the (FS), if I'm correct. They may as well just check things off the (FS) list of things to do for the (FS) as they move along.
