Well, I was hoping there was that chance with SFMI because they have a very advanced project going on where they are working tailings piles that they think are rich in minerals that were overlooked 100 years ago.
The idea they assert is that a hundred years ago, the miners carved out mine shafts by following along exposed veins. As such, they theorize that the piles of discarded rock that they piled up as the dug along ought to be rich enough to grind up and harvest for mineralization. The assumption is that the piles were from rock that was close to the veins and, applying what you just said, you seem to think that the sponge example would apply.
I am hoping that there are piles all over the US that are from old mining operations and that RAPT can become ubiquitous in the industry. I jumped in entusiasticly because of my investment over at SFMI, but now I'm in RAPT because I see them as being able to harvest tailings piles from all over.
The one thing I do not like is that they are presently requiring the rock to be taken to Florida.
At the start, controls like that make sense, but I do hope they will eventually set up regional shops, especially out west because its a long way from Idaho to Florida.
And BTW, when you say "Oh contrare(?)........ ", I assume you are saying that it could be possible to apply RAPT technology to the 800K piles SFMI is saying they have available and above ground.
Right?????
Oh and another thing, is that you in the photo?
Also, I assumed from RAPT web site readings, that they (RAPT) were targeting tailings that were from cyanide operations. What of this? Which would be the best to work on? tailings piles like at SFMI or cyanided waste piles?
