John,

In your post you said that the ore is ground down to 1000 mesh! Do you know
how fine 1000 mesh is? I have a reference book which only goes to 635 mesh
or 0.020mm. Bread flour is only 115 mesh! What equipment is used to do this
extra fine milling? I have done some research and no one knows how to grind
large quantities to that fine of mesh cheaply.

Why do they grind the ore this fine? What does this milling do to the "complex
ore," using Naxos' terminology, that makes it use two thirds less chemicals as
you state? What chemicals are being used anyway? What are the other steps in
the process? How much does all this cost? Is it easy or hard to scale up?

Who is Dr. Johnson? Why isn't this like the "Friendship Lab" of another desert
dirt company? Where does he come from? What happened to Dr. Groves? What
happened to Ray Smith and his method? How much are we giving away to this guy?

Most of all, *Why isn't anyone else asking these questions!?* Has this thread
lost all perspective? Where has all the skepticism gone?
