comment from tectonic boss, page-2

Hi RonaldMcRivkin.

Good post and good thinking both with regard the post and sending the answer onto Dave.

Yes you have to have a big deposit to make a go of a big CapEx and you have to really go out on a limb to "trial" a brand new untried process. Miners have had their fingers burnt in the past and so are very conservative when it comes to processing methods. They stay with the tried and proven even if they can't get all the metal out of the ore.

Intec is only confident because it has developed its method and proven it up to and including the demonstration level. Now to up-scale to a full plant. The mystery remains as to what that new plant will look like. Two parellel circuits, one of ZnS and the other PbS, or the Full Monty. Certainly the Full Monty will involve a far bigger CapEx and take longer to build. However the impressive revenue figures and the thought that it proves all that Intec has been saying
about its many processes will, I think, be the way they go.

Cheers.
