True there are issues , Marc is a metallurgist so think he would be able to pre-determine met issues from others ore which I am guessing would be mainly with transition ore or base metals loading the carbon
Not sure about other higher costs , from a transport perspective the distance is not great from St ives to many of the surrounding mines Another company in the area is Javelin saw them at the conference , took Marc to show them but he seemed uninterested .

My great grandfather was at Burbanks before you think around 1905 doubt he made any coin though as was soon back to Kiama (just some shallow bragging rights from me , as I am no hard rock miner ). Guess you never caught any mice at Burbanks as would have mentioned it
