"Hi McHale As to question if the question if Auz has the right ore body from Sconi or Flemington for commercial battery grade Nickel/Cobalt Sulphate this will be answered by the pilot plant under construction. If this was a known fact at the moment the pilot plant would not be required."

Hi and thanks for your input.
Don't you think before doing a pilot plant they would of test the ore directly there or in a lab? To check if indeed that's extractable?

As I understand the question if it is the right ore body has been answered. I'm not an expert but they have mentioned that the ore body is the same as CLQ (same rock?). Pilot plant is required to demonstrate the viability and acquire knowledge to get to the next step IMO.
