Utter nonsense, basically concocted propaganda attempting to discredit a legitimate query that Pensana has not adequately addressed.
Should it be such a minor issue mgt should be able to respond to the following calculation simply & quickly, stick with the facts, not all your emotive garbage:
Should those rather dramatic numbers be incorrect I'd expect Pensana to refute them by publishing a clear alternate. What they do illustrate is the massive difference in NdPr grade between the two resources and consequently the massive volume of thorium that needs to be mined and processed at Longonjo to produce an equivalent volume of NdPr as MtW.
Q of course is where will that volume come out of the process and how will it be dealt with safely, at what cost?
Your silly statement: "In calculating NORM values for Longonjo and Mt Weld, they conveniently disregard any Radionuclides in Mt Welds considerable waste !" simply illustrates you have not a clue re the subject given the numbers demonstrate Longonjo would generate 10x residue/waste of MtW. That very clearly creates a significant additional processing cost and potentially regulatory issues depending on where the thorium is extracted & disposed of.
Man up and treat these issues as seriously as they deserve.
