I'm no metallurgist, but you don't have to be one to understand the difference between
> PAJINGO ore, which as described on NQM's website. in the first bullet point about the project, as 'High grade low sulphide epithermal deposit,' therefore amenable to simple, conventional processing; and
> V2 MT CARLTON ore, which is well-known to be refractory with arsenic present (neither of which seems to worry Guoda at all)
I believe that this fundamental difference in ores between Pajingo and Mt Carlton makes NQM's plant useless for treating CQT ore, hence the concentrate-->Chinese smelter-->bright metal path.
Is there a metallurgist out there who can comment on this arcane but critical question?
