Sorry act,

By further ahead I was referring to the refining process. I know that ANM has piloted their process but I have much more faith in the DOW process since it has worked over a long period of time on many different ores. You have only to look back at the problems encountered by ANL et al on their pioneering extraction of nickel laterites to see what can go wrong.

Snooker, I take your point about testing on individual ores. I have seen no mention or discussion of a need for a pilot plant for MIL. I assume that their bench level tests have proven adequate to establish the workability of the Dow process. Have you any info to the contrary?
