Hmmm... this report creates more questions than answers.
Is the excess clay due to torrential rains or just general earth conditions?
If it was caused by torrential rains, why run it all through the Merrill Crowe? Why not remove the clay (at least the heavily contaminated clay areas) before processing in the Merrill Crowe?
With so much clay run-off allegedly contaminating the pads, how are the assay numbers (grams per ton) affected?
The report gives the impression that operations didn't really start until last week of July. The PR's made have given the impression, leaching has been going on for some time, we just needed to find the right chemistry balance to smelt for optimal recovery. Now there is mention of 32 kg of "irregular precipitation". Is this on top of the other reported zinc-filled sludge?
My amateur take.... we are still at least 30-60 days from smelting. Additionally, I don't think we have a grasp of how many grams per ton we will successfully be able to recover and turn into sellable gold.
