Eric,
probably the best way to understand Joyce is to drink a half a pint of Irish whiskey before you turn a page. that way you are in the same "space" Joyce was when he wrote it....

on other matters, especially when it comes to pumping, perhaps you could share your opinion on ARU. I don't know if you are an expert at pumping, however, have you looked at the aerial picture and cross sections posted on ARU's website? The mineralization is capped by porous clastics (sandstone and conglomerate aquifer?) in a 'pull apart' basin over laying andesites, located in a valley bottom, in the tropics (high rainfall), with a river running through it. Comments from a mining engineer would be appreciated, but from my layman's perspective, there are going to be serious water issues with mining here that will require costly engineering solutions. I would wait for some kind of scoping study from a mining engineering consulting company. This is no Arequipa, located on a mountain side where relief and gravity facilitates drainage and haulage issues etc. Mineralization only makes ore if it can be extracted profitably and there is enough of it to to repay capital. I believe it will take a lot of pumping (pumping water) to turn this mineralization into a mine.
