When the BSM que river contract went to Rosebery mill ( after months of delays) Intec told us...

"Intec notes that the Rosebery Mill has spare capacity, whereas the Intec Hellyer Mill is currently
fully utilised in treating the Hellyer tailings to produce the bulk zinc, lead and silver concentrate.
Additionally, the Intec Hellyer Mill (unlike Rosebery) is not currently configured to recover copper
and gold values"


Now in regards the hellyer/fossey ore Intec is saying via the Q&A.

"It would make sense, then, that the future mining of the Bass Metals ore should be treated through the Intec Hellyer Mill rather than transporting it all of the way to Rosebery.

As you rightly point out, the Intec Hellyer Mill is currently configured for the recovery of zinc, lead and silver. However, the mill still has additional flotation cells and capacity to recovery copper/gold. These are left over from the original operations, which produced four different concentrates including a copper/gold product."

So clearly Intec could have processed the Que river ore and if it had done so would be in a better position now.I suspect polymetals complicated the issue at the time.

Securing the BSM hellyer/fossey ore this time round is essential.
