I note from the results that Taruga has engaged Gavin Beer to assist with metallurgy flow sheets.
Found this on him from RareX website where he also works.
Lead Consultant Metallurgist
Mr Gavin Beer has more than 30 years’ experience in technical and operational roles in the mining industry with the last 12 being exclusively within the Rare Earth and Technology Metals sector.

Mr Beer is the founder and principal of Met-Chem Consulting Pty Ltd, a specialist consultancy focused on rare earths and critical metals processing. Met-Chem has been engaged by more than 20 rare earth companies globally including Hastings Technology Metals Ltd (ASX:HAS), Pensana Metals Ltd (ASX

Mr Beer was previously the General Manager Metallurgy of Peak Resources Limited (ASXEK) and Manager Metallurgy of Arafura Resources Limited (ASX:ARU).

Sounds to me like we couldn't have a better person to assist in trying to come up with an economic flowsheet.
Interesting how no one has really mentioned his involvement.
