Ok, the cost of extraction , crushing are basically wiped out; but IMO there wouldn't be a hope of getting that stuff out of Manono and to a customer economically...and then the amount of waste trying to process anything economic out of it...
Probably need some sort of flotation process at Manono to make any good of it. Forget about the tailings ; its a non event in any case

Agree with that mountain of tailings use it to make roads
that is what I would do
