Mineral processing was not seen as a core activity; more a 'by-the-way' issue. I also notice the implied dismissiveness of clearly defining geometallurgy. I would definitely be an advocate of clear definition of what one is trying to achieve; rather than race off an simply develop a geological model without clear purpose.
