The flow sheet optimization is expected to continue until commercial applicability and which final purity requirements will be needed to achieve cost effectiveness and customer demands. Some of those demands are that the process be environmentally responsible in view of the ‘clean-tech’ character of so many of Zenyatta’s anxious customers; moreover, the details of the final flow sheet and related associated engineering data will inform the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

IMO, commercial applicability is the key that will unlock the full potential of the ZEN deposit. We are very close to this becoming a reality and that is what the end users are waiting for. This may be the start of the bidding war, unless there is a major/s waiting in the wings for final confirmation before proceeding with the friendly agreed upon take out with ZEN management. If the latter occurs, we may never get to see the PEA.
