Mike,
There is, as you say, no 'black and white' approach to technological
developments like the use of crushing devices in ore preparation. More when
I have time to consider a reply.
To the rest of you,
It again strikes me that there are other members, including those outside
the UK and with interests outside non-ferrous metal mining, who could
contribute to this discussion. Otherwise it could end up as a two way
dialogue, with Mike and I agreeing on many points but agreeing to disagree
on others.
Please go back over the discussion and inject you thoughts.
Peter
