Apologies, i've been away for the last couple weeks and am catching on things now.
The long story short is they are lower/less than I had hoped/anticipated. There's oddly not much improvement from PH4 to PH1 so can't see that making a huge difference in iterations. As @2ic rightfully points out the acid consumption is quite high so any pathways in that direction become incredibly cost in-cursive.
I'll need to reach out to the company to see where their heads are at with the iterations but in my view the best hope is that these met results are reflective across the ore body. Temperature might play some part and perhaps some tweaks here and there but are still a fair way off the met extraaction required.
Best chance of success now is hoping that the recoveries aren't uniform across the deposit and thus area's with a larger ionic component exist within the MRE.
Will see where this goes, but think ITM may now need to pivot focus on the graphite and have this bubble away in the background. Graphite projects seem to have a higher degree of work already done in regards to met work and some preliminary studies which already suggest economics viability.
Any further success with the REO tenement for me now is probably just a bonus.
disclosure haven't sold or bought anything in the last 3 weeks and will continue to hold based on the graphite.
