Confusing announcement. Doesn't really say what the ore sample represents other than a mixture of drill samples
"Detailed metallurgical test work conducted on representative drill core samples...." "....results of the detailed metallurgical test work conducted on mineralised material" "....assessment for the gravity recovery and leach kinetics of the various mineralised zones at Tenera." "....a composited sample that represented the various mineralised zones at Tenera" "A total of 518kg of mineralised rock samples were collected from 53 diamond drill holes from Tenera, representing each of the mineralised and grade zones within the Resource"
Reads like they are going to dig up the whole orebody first, mix it up and then recover the gold. I would have thought that doing "representative" sample of the different ore types (eg oxide and fresh) would better inform a PFS on how to process the different ore types. Not a very "exceptional" announcement to me!
