So are we leaching or using a gravity separator?

The use of the term gold concentrates typically indicates a gravity process is being used to recover the gold and not a leach pad.

Further, if leaching is the process used the result is typically a leach solution called precipitate, not gold concentrate. In the leaching process the gold from the precipitate is then recovered typically by electrowining or merrill crowe not sent to a smelter.

If the leach pad was how this product was recovered then there wouldn't be a need to send the product to a secure site for smelting as Mexus has reported it has it's own carbon filter electrowinng process in place.

More significantly this is the step of the process (going from concentrate and/or precipitate to smelted gold) where Mexus seems to struggle. Remember the tub o zinc, the vats of overcooked ore and salty gold? All those are struggles with going from precipitate/concentrate to sellable gold.

The PR makes it sound like money is on the way, but THIS is the problem Mexus can't seem to solve.
