My understanding goes:
- Everything is same as last week.
- Base case scenario - 75-76 percent recovery of Au from all ores.
- Because of fast flotation characteristics, there are ways to improve recovery of the overall gold.
- It is not a low grade deposit, so it can carry cost of adding flotation into the circuit so they can recover more than 75 percent of total gold vs 64 percent leach only processing.
- Main advantage is 98 percent of rock mass is separated in flotation process, which makes required CIL processing smaller. So adding flotation increases CAPEX and OPEX, but due to good separation in this process reduces CAPEX and OPEX in CIL circuit.
So it could be way better economically compare to last weeks assumption of adding flotation in CAPEX and OPEX making it looking bad for overall project.

I think this interpretation seems more plausible,even I can`t extract this
information myself from the update.I think probably because they articulate it wrong?
