However, these ones they are only getting tested to be on spec. now, there will be plenty of trial and error and slow ramp up which is typical with hydromet with elements of similar properties and different by only a few atomic numbers.

Sounds like you have a good grasp on metallurgy, they have a complex process flowsheet so it's not unrealistic to think it's going to take some time, but hey it's time to deliver. I was expecting more in-depth metallurgical testing and research to better understand the ore's behaviour and find ways to optimise the process for the specific ore type. In hindsight it's obvious there's been massive metallurgical issues which has delayed the whole process. This would have been financed by now if the metallurgy was understood
