I posted this the other night from their 2020 Annual Report - but not really any comment. validate mass-flow and process design assumptions for varying ore types and included: • the use of mass-rejection to discard lower value ore early in the circuit, with the aim of both reducing production costs and increasing coarse-concentrate yield; and • utilising latent equipment capacity in the existing circuit to increase production output, thereby lowering the overall capital cost of the expansion. The results of this testwork concluded that an incremental expansion for Stage 2 can be achieved, thereby avoiding the need for a full duplication of a new circuit as originally contemplated by Pilbara Minerals. A phased expansion provides several benefits including reduced upfront capital cost to deliver the first phase of incremental production tonnes to customers, with subsequent phases of the expansion to be aligned with customer requirements, ensuring maximum flexibility and reduced capital risk.
Expand
Youre using old expansion plans which are redundant and therefore irrelevant.
