Umm... Wow...

SMS introduced an oxidative precipitation step following the production of magnetite concentrate and the Tivan leach phase, which replaces the solvent extraction circuits and precipitates a vanadium compound by atmospheric oxidation, from which TNG has the option to produce both very high-purity vanadium pentoxide or ferro-vanadium, therefore increasing the number of potential products from Mount Peake’s planned production.

There is your disruption right there. Reduces the need for acids & acid regeneration, reduces the need for pressurization of the process.
And getting through the refinery EIS approvals just got a whole lot easier. No matter where they want to build these plants.

Again. Wow.
