Man heading to a messy open again. Can't believe Au and Pt were both around 187x and battling for lead when I got up.

It is hard to say what they can accomplish on the month+ timeframe, but it seems to me that should certainly allow for verification of the processes with the sampled ores used. But it all depends. Does the hardware run into difficulty when they try to have it move a ton a day working 24/7, causing delay just for mechanicals? How many distinctly different samples are to be tested, or is it all with a homogenized, representative mix? etc. But given all works well, yes it would seem to me that is reasonable to getting results of the kinds they had indicated (especially if they have a portable chem instrumental lab handy for monitoring on site). There will without doubt be much room for dialing in refinements to the chemistry later, but it appeared that here the objectives are the big ticket uncertainties and initial values for thresholds on the solution chemistry, which I would guess they should be able to initially dial in with a 6 week timeframe. It is probably as much figuring flow rate of material between stages to hit optimum yield vs time as it is discovery of factors of the solution chemistry mentioned before.
