    Results from process testwork in February 2018 have confirmed that the Duncan mineralisation can be processed in a very similar manner to the CLD mineralisation with comparable recoveries and performance.

    THIS is the only relevant information that changes a lot, because since the scoping study it was written in stone, that ...

    "Capital cost estimate for the proposed Duncan processing plant: approximately $600 million.
    Cash cost of production: approximately $40 per kilogram of REO. (This cost is significantly higher
    than the equivalent cost for the CLD because the proposed Duncan process involves direct
    chemical beneficiation.)
    Production: approximately 13,000 tonnes per annum of REO, excluding cerium.
    Modelled throughput: approximately 500,000 tonnes per annum."

    As far as i followed the story, there has never been a tangible update or any progress been reported about Duncan since 2012 (otherwise please feel free to show the numbers and a reliable source). Anyway, there has to be made another expansion of the LAMP (why not, if Malaysian government can be "sustainably" convinced?) or a second separation plant ... because 60% more lifetime might be nice, but being the only non-Chinese supplier should motivate to get a bigger bucket, before it starts to rain lobsters for a short period and other ones also try to profit from this period.
