>Who runs the show?<

McKay runs the show at the mill. Jensen has delegated authority to him. Jensen's presence at the mill or input about production is and always has been irrelevant because he is not a technical guy.

Ideally McKay should be at the mill each day supervising. As it is now, he is in daily contact with the mill and demands and gets detailed reports. He will be at the mill fairly soon.

The purpose of the manual is to give the mill personnel a specific procedure to follow. Previously they were just shooting from the hip. Essentially, as I understand it, there never was an adequate test of the resin process. At this time they are, in reality, starting from the beginning. So let's wait and see how things turn out.

IMO, given McKays metallurgical background, his own tests of the ore at the Hassyaampa, his conviction that the resin process will work on this ore, my bet is that we will all be very happy in due time. This is not to say that adjustments will not have to be made as we go along even with the best of procedures.
