ABM already has a new FUNDING agreement in place!, page-10

Bob,
Good summary and the mining discussions make eminent sense but one thing if I can. The 87% recovery is, in my belief, a flawed number and a cause of ABU drifting off the path so to speak. I have no doubts that they could recover 87% of the gold into a gravity concentrate through the existing pilot plant but doubt if this would be smeltable or able to be turned into bars without some form of leaching. From experience, it wouldn't take much to put in a small, pressure leach circuit or the like but with what they have in place, I would expect recoveries to be around 60 - 70% into bars, with some high grade and a lot of low grade tails requiring further treatment.
Narrow vein mining is different and it somewhat of a dying art so to speak - sad really.
