re: mlm the next hrr Sorry for the delayed response - but MLM has no intention of using bioheap technology. That is used for sulphide ores not laterites. It will be a straight acid heap leach process. The recent announcement from MLM showed that 4m heap heights were acceptable and that over 50% extraction was obtained in 6 days (not weeks or months) in the first column tests on ore from Minnamoolka, one deposit in the Nornico project. More testwork is underway on Bell Creek and other ore deposits with blending ore types being tested.
