Ed, thank you for the information. McKay sounds pragmatic and purposeful. More of those qualities do seem needed at the mill, especially now. If we can believe the 9/8 statement that, at least for shipments #1 and 2, Sabin was extracting more than Global had anticipated, then it's already possible. If we did not have prior extraction success, explanations about quality control or procedural consistency would be much less persuasive. I emphasize "if we can believe", however. If that statement was hype or just wishful thinking, then look out. But I do keep thinking about Professor Russel's word "bonanza" now and then and find it hard to believe that a maven such as he would risk reputation by careless sputter. No, I think we can more than likely take the current explanations as adequate and plausible, though we should also expect visits from Mr. Murphy from time to time along this path. I'm also sure nobody at Hassayampa is less frustrated than we discussants! My guess is that it's hard to psychologically move from an R&D mentality to a production one - maybe they just can't help themselves, e.g.;, "Hmmm, lets see...if we just wiggled this widget and peeled this onion and added a tad more hypochlorite....", when they should be sticking to the basics that work. jmo...Scott |
