plant and/or full-scale plant. In the case of leaching and CIP/CIL, such data are relatively easy to obtain for existing plants, assuming that the problem is one of the design of an upgrade for an existing plant. In the case of a new plant, such data are much more difficult to come by, particularly if the ore is from a deep underground mine.
