actually confirmed the results that we saw in the lab.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>the results were actually better.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Usually when you scale things up, there&#8217;s there&#8217;s issues with that.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>But the evidence that we&#8217;ve got to date suggests that as we scale up, the treatment

be about a kilometer long cell.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>So we do need a significant amount of real estate.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>So we&#8217;re at the basic engineering stage, figuring out where its going to be, and doing the preliminary costing.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>We could just go into a mined out pit and do it in there, in which case we wouldn&#8217;t have to do any extra dike construction.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>But for a pilot activity, we&#8217;ve decided it will be an out of pit, which will require us to construct these dikes to do this.<\/span><\/em><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight:\nnormal\"><span style=\"font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:\n&quot;Trebuchet
