They don't treat it which upset Ms Pilbersek.
What don't they treat? The ore, fines, or what be specific. You are sounding like you really don't have a clue.
I see you don't know what Plibersek did.
"New details have surfaced about Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s decision to veto a gold mine project in regional New South Wales
to protect Indigenous cultural heritage."
Not because they weren't going to treat the ore.
"The Belubula River on Kings Plains was the proposed site of a tailings dam for the approved McPhillamy’s goldmine by Regis Resources, but the dam project is in jeopardy following the protection order."
So they wanted a tailings dam.
"Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt claimed the Environment Minister essentially blocked the mining development because it was "on the site of secret Aboriginal business even though there's no obvious evidence" to support it."
No evidence? Oh dear.
"On Tuesday, Mr Bolt revealed Wiradjuri elder and artist Nyree Reynolds lodged the protection application in 2021 and not the relevant Aboriginal land council in the region.
Ms Reynolds, who has claimed ties to both the Wiradjuri and Gamilaraay tribes on various academic and government websites, cited the region's significance to Aboriginal "dreaming stories" in the claim. "
Trust us they say. We will listen to the relevant Land Councils, except where we won't.

The cost would be remarkably similar to all the other gold-mines paying for the pollutant tech.
So you don't know how many millions to recover that one nugget.
