A good point Pangea. Arsenic is a bad outcome for smelting. I agree, while they may be able to sell a concentrate, they would be lucky to to get 50% LME IMO.
However pressure oxidation should work okay. It will just cost more. If a small deposit it is unlikely to support the cost of a POX reactor and associated utilities.

If very large then it is possible, though capital intensive, though they would have a head start with the existing mill and circuit at Radio Hill.
I will be watching with interest.
