not sure why people are actually bothered about the tailings. Tailings , particularly in a mine that was run up in the DRC years ago, would contain an absolute mush of everything; so you can imagine what grade we'd actually get out of it; it would be so diluted the grades per tonne would be down at 0.01% on down most likely . Ok, the cost of extraction , crushing are basically wiped out; but IMO there wouldn't be a hope of getting that stuff out of Manono and to a customer economically...and then the amount of waste trying to process anything economic out of it...

Probably need some sort of flotation process at Manono to make any good of it. Forget about the tailings ; its a non event in any case
