koongie park one of the largest vms resources, page-11

Perspective: VMS can be both a negative and positive.

Thankfully the Koongie Park formation is now a positive, although not without difficulty.

It took the wizardry of Kwan Wong and consultant metallurgist Peter Lewis at Optimet Laboratories to solve the potential surfical oxidisation problem in the recovery process. Without knowing this positive outcome I would not have bought back into AAR and increased my holding since. You might say this is a "key aspect" requirement for the success of KP.

Now Cu is the major driver, KP is literally another ABY waiting (waiting ...waiting) to happen IMO. If they announce KP is going ahead as they have now cryptically indicated (Reichmans pickup), AAR will head back to >13.5c with ease and very quickly.

Have a great day people.

And remember this very clever man when you have made you $$$....He was referred to by one of the best metallurgists in WA as "the best there is" and " If Kwan can't make it (Koongie Park) work then it probably can't be done"

Suffice to say Kwan made "it work" and then some...


"Kwan Wong is a post-graduate of the University of Melbourne in primary Metallurgy and mineral processing. During his is a post-graduate of the University of Melbourne in primary Metallurgy and mineral processing. During his career of over 40 years as a processing metallurgist, Kwan has worked in CSIRO, Mt Gunson Mines and Amdel. In 1989 he was the Managing Director of Optimet Laboratories which he established in partnership with two other metallurgists. Following the acquisition of Optimet Laboratories by AMMTEC Ltd, Kwan is presently working as a consulting metallurgist. Kwan has extensive experience in flotation treatment of complex sulphide ores and with research, development and plant implementation of Controlled Potential Sulphidisation (CPS) flotation of mixed, oxidised, oxide and supergene base metal sulphide ore. Kwan's consulting activities over the past years have included review/evaluation of flotation testwork and plant performance, plant commissioning and trouble-shooting, and metallurgist/operator training. He has also acted as a specialist speaker in flotation workshops and as an expert witness in legal proceedings. In more recent years Kwan's interest and experience in flotation treatment has extended to non-metallic and industrial minerals due to increased activities in this area of mineral processing in Australia and overseas."
