Comments on other economic factors

  • THEY ARE PRESENTLY CONSTRUCTING A CONCENTRATOR. APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF CAPITAL HAS BEEN SPENT. TESTWORK INDICATES A CONCENTRATE OF 57% FE CAN BE ACHIEVED, BUT 27% FE STILL REMAINS IN THE TAILS, INDICATING A POOR RECOVERY OF 60-70% TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED IS WET, HIGH INTENSITY MAGNETIC SE- PARATION; BOTH MINE STAFF AND MINPROC CONSIDER THIS INADEQUATE. THEY ALSO NEED TECHNOLOGY TO RECOVER BYPRODUCT MN OF 22% MN (35% MNO2). THEY NEED TO FIND WAYS TO EXTRACT GERMANIUM TO IM- PROVE RECOVERY.
