The process plant proposed has been based on a three stage crushing and screening, DMS pre concentration, then milling of the DMS concentrate. The mill product will then by subjected to differential floatation to generate both a zinc and lead concentrate. The concentrates will then be washed, dewatered and shipped from the site.

ProMet has concept designed the location for deposition of slimes and tailings. All materials to be mined at Torlon would be oxidized forms of mineralization.

Estimated power requirements for the site infrastructure were estimated at 3000kW that is envisioned to be supplied by four 1000 kVA diesel generating units with a fifth for standby.
