Consider the economics of using a concentrating table.
Here are quotable quotes from Ian after he worked with two mineral processing operators in Australia.
“I keep doing tests on people’s tails and the M8 keeps scavenging lost fine heavy minerals!”
“The tantalite tests went really well. The manager helped put 100kg of his tails thru and he was stoked at how much very fine tantalite was recovered. I worked out that he is losing approx $1000 per hour (which the Table would catch).”
