good posts, thanks for the info.
with the value adding I was thinking heavy tungsten alloys etc. rather than shipping it offshore for someone else to value add. We seem to do this a lot in australia, in a lot of different fields. Indeed, i know very little about the process in making these products, only assuming they must be furnaced at some stage...
what sort of mine life would you expect from WC?
at thereabouts throughput you mention.
I'm also wondering what the mlx geo's bring to the qol table?
