You are so absolutely right, Lar. The big factor here is permitting. Any rock that is processed through a flotation or gravity recovery process comes out as rock when you are done. No environmentel issues to deal with.

The average yield from these tests is actually 80.6%. If an average of 2 grams/ton were processed in this fashion, then stockpiled, as you say, you are left with .4 g. I doubt there is any liklihood of anyone contemplating any sort of expensive processing system to try to recover the remaining mineralization.

Also based on that nugget effect you mentioned, if they can recover an average 80% from 2g/ton, would that figure not increase with richer material?
