<<Have any idea how soon until the underground crews will be able to consistently produce 100 tpd?>>

It's all about the stopes. That 2nd one should be done, but no confirmation I've seen. If we get the 3rd and 4th stopes, then we'll probably get 200 TPD out consistently, with the higher grade (over 2%) that we need to get to max production. I see this as a very successful start-up, which is the way director Dr. Corby Anderson characterized it on the mine/mill tour in September. He did NOT come off as a BS type of guy to me.

<<the mill has historically processed 4.75% Mo material>>

I think you meant to say "up to" 4.75% Mo material. The optimum level seems lower to me, perhaps between 2% and 3%. We now have an expert running the operation in Kent Aveson; I have little doubt he'll optimize the operation.

Thank you for your input also, together we can come to reasonable expectations for the future.
