You're talking about the pressure relief on the top of the tubes, yeah the water being discharged looked very silty still, but it's always going to look that way because it's coming out of a bag full of silt ~ rofl. They need to keep working on the leaching process for the settling ponds, it's not that hard but it is extremely site specific. They need to install multiple layers of drainage materials, stone and filter fabric, etc... and then store the filtered water subsurface for reuse. There are many ways to do this, they just need to find the system that suits their site.

Probart, what you are looking at is a bag that has been over pressurized, or hitting the end of it,s life cycle. that shot is by no means a reason to sell. Once the water leaches out of the geo tube it then trickles threw a gravel bed to a series of settling ponds before the water is reintroduced. The problem we have is the water does not have enough time to settle and the clay particulate suspended is then re introduced into the wash system. what this means is our system could need one more stage of filtration. BRC water use is limited by permit we have 2 fresh wells on site to supplement the re circulation.The P5000 suggestion i sent to Rob, was just a suggestion, cleaner water injected ahead of the concentrators is something i,m sure they are well aware of.What will solve the problem is an engineer on site who can analyze several cycles of the containment ponds and make suggestion to correct the problem based on on site study. This should not take that much time (days). What will take time is the implementation of the solution JMO but we are very close to solving the #1 problem at the mine, Clean water. Rob has stated, this is on the front burner and they have been working on it. in the mean time we are in production at 1/2 capacity with recovery rates at low levels. Remember, once the water problem has been identified and resolved throughput will hit capacity and recovery rates will follow in very short order
