Results confirm the design basis being utilised for the leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning facilities and provide critical process plant design inputs for the BKM feasibility study.\nKey highlights include:\n· Soluble copper recoveries from the coarse crush size (P80=19mm) ranged from 72% to 81% (%Cusol) for the dominant material types defined at BKM. These recoveries represent a 4% improvement, on average, over the recoveries obtained from the short column programme.\n· The long column results confirm the expectation that utilising a finer crush size will deliver recoveries of 80% to 85% (%Cusol) for the dominant material types, as observed in the short column programme.\n· The majority of the soluble copper, ...
