Victoria Colonist notes the Elmore oil concentration method shows high ore yields. Tests on Rossland mine concentrates yield 6.08 percent copper with oil versus 2.6 percent with water, while silver and gold are higher in oil runs and tailings recoveries improve. Preliminary Snowshoe mine results are promising and multiple Elmore plants may start in the province. The Fernie inquest verdict faults the company, citing coal dust deaths and urging stronger mine safety measures.
