If the recovery turns out to be 80-95% and we achieve grades of 300-400 g/t in the scaled up pilot plant then I agree that the absolute value is somewhat academic. But what if the true grade for the ore body is 600 g/t Au and therefore current extraction processes are only achieving a gold recovery of 50%-65%?
Is this potentially why metallurgical work is ongoing in attempting to perfect the extraction process i.e. BBX suspect the ore body has significantly higher levels of precious metals?
Until BBX "can sort out an assay method that can accurately and precisely determine the true grade for a ore parcel before it is is put through the extraction process", how do you know?
