Acidic POX is traditional in the Carlin trend where silver values are negligible.
Acidic POX fixes the silver as Jarosite, which is mostly cyanide insoluble. There is technology (lime boil) post oxidation that was deployed at Barricks PV mine in the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately recovery’s have never met expectations and costs are high
Technical studies reference much of the silver at Hycroft as Sulfa Salts which are cyanide soluble so pre oxidation leach could be deployed. Unfortunately this is not the case for Vortex which contains most of the higher grade silver
1gpt is going to be difficult to build a 1$-2b mill on. I believe there is only one large mill in the world with this low of grade (Kinross) and it makes a lot of metal but seldom makes a profit
I’m hoping for higher grade
