We have been hearing about an environmentally friendly hydromet process since at least October 2008. One that is a green process along with energy production along the way.
In a 10/08 release.............
"After over two years of extensive laboratory development work, Starfield has achieved a real breakthrough in hydrometallurgical research," saidMichael Moran , Starfield's Director of Engineering. "With this process we can now take a difficult massive sulphide ore and produce pure nickel, copper and cobalt products in a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient manner."
The hydromet processing plant is designed to extract pure, LME-grade nickel, copper and cobalt metals from massive sulphides at competitive production costs. The process will allow for economical operations at Starfield's proposed mine and hydrometallurgical plant sites, and produce by-product electricity to power both the plant and the mine, with some excess electricity remaining for potential sale to local communities.
Dr. Bryn Harris, B.Sc., Ph.D., FCIM, FIMMM, C.Eng, is the Qualified Person for the hydrometallurgical process and has reviewed this news release in accordance with NI 43-101.
Now, can we have an update from the Company, showing WHERE this process is ours?
Signatures, rights, contracts,royalty fees,
Anything, that would lead me to believe that the process is SRU's,
as was again inferred with this lastest press release on the merger
thank you
