race to the finish line, page-51

Hi n_terra,

From the first reference they are costing their sandminning at $4/tonne so I will use that figure instead of the $2 I have been using to date.

Thanks for that.

Borisdog,

Don't be sorry you disagree with me, your skeptism is of great assistance in focusing my thoughts, so thanks.

The processing is staged so (c) the chemical plant will only require 2 to 3 tonnes of dry processsed concentrate to produce 1 tonne mixed TREO gross. Let's assume a 70% recovery rate through the whole process, 700Kgs net.

So max the chemical plant will need to process 4.3 tonnes of dry concentrate per tonne of mixed REO.

I think the last part of the processing will be the most expensive so the greater the concentration of TREO in the material to be processed the cheaper it will be.

Cheers
