Marginal profitability (to loss) as a separate circuit is needed to extract it. Such a circuit has been left out of the SS. However, this will be further reviewed in future studies.
The majority of the moly would apparently report in the copper con anyway so it would not represent a future environmental hazard (may not be one anyway). However, It could be considered a contaminant in the concentrate.... in which case further studies....details and recall beyond me.
Many issues like this need to be considered and balanced out.
================= plus Mine closure.
The pit(s) and mullock dumps could be used for energy storage/generation purposes.
Solar energy could be used to pump water into holding ponds on the top of mullock heaps during the day. Then the water would be released after dark to flow down into the pit generating a form of hydro electricity to be added into the night time grid.
An interesting concept which is a long way from ever being put into practice. May seem pretty clunky in 30-50 years time.
Closure does need to be part of early planning these days.
