@DD72 I just scraped the assay data into excel, sorted fro samples >300ppm TREO, then averaged those assays in ppm and % of TREo for all REO elements.
There are really only going to be 4 payable REO elements in the future, Nd, Pr (lights) and DyTb(heavies). As you can see, 71% of the TREO% is Ce and La (very high really) but the payable magnet elements are very low in both ppm and % terms. Tb at 1ppm is basically below recovery, Dy @6.6ppm is below 30-40ppm I see in other clay prospects, NdPy at 20% total is in the ball park but bit lower than typical 22% typical avg. Basically the clays look too low in Valuable REO to look like a winner, even before considering the recoveries and leach requirements (eg pH etc) which in WA has proven disastrous to date.
Pretty much same story with 500ppm TREO cut...
