I don't know if this process has been discussed on forum.
I was just looking at Prophecy Resources and reading about their Lynn Lake Nickel Project. They are talking about Bio-Leaching technology, using natural occuring bacteria, and are saying it is harmless to humans and environment. If I read correctly, it does away with smelting or roasting. It works in the absence of heat. They are saying it eliminates concentrate transportation, smelter and refinery costs.
As you know, the above is Greek to me. But it struck me as interesting. Is anyone able to comment on the above, so that a layperson could understand. Is it workable in the ROF?
TIA
