The underground ore they are trying to mine is from Golden Age - a free milling source but difficult to follow. They are staying away from the refractory ore for now but they (or someone) will get into this at some stage as there is a big resource in the West Lodes in particular. Also, please understand, the Activox circuit at Wiluna has worked well in the past and there is no reason as to why it wont work now. It fell ito a hole during Apex times as a certain MD wanted the tanks emptied to try and find the gold "trapped" in there. The bugs need to be treated like a farm - well fed and looked after in a stable environment. I have stated here before, there were times when you gould smell the dead bacteria in the tanks and the operators did a great job nurturing them back only to have another tank dumped.
There is nothing wrong with the reserves nor the process. As for the rest - I can only guess (as most of you have)
My opinions only
