Steve,
The equipment purchased for the pilot plant includes an attritter(sp?) so it appears to be able to perform a Johnson-Lett or similar type of recovery process. I am not aware what other type of processes can be conducted with this equipment. Since all the releases we have seen so far have only shown gold, there have only been rumours of other metals, I assume the production assay will target gold primarily. I don't believe we have received an estimated start up time but people were guessing late April/early May back when the pilot plant was first announced.

There is a question in my mind as to when it is best to do the production assay. We had a bit of a discussion on the subject about a week ago. As I have posted previously I believe the Johnson-Lett process is still being fine tuned. We are also in an early stage of drilling and do not yet have a clear picture of the deposit. IMHO it would be best to delay the production assay until we have a clearer picture of the deposit and can do a standard process analysis or until the Johnson-Lett process, or some variant, has been more fully developed.
