What do you expect when one comes out first thing with gloves on and arms swinging. Sorry if your feeling were hunt, but I only ask where you get all the time to surf and post, thats all. Of course Aussie production is questionable. You've done a marvelous job posting current info. Thanks. There is very little known about Russia, but I have a number of academic contacts that have actually been to the deposit. I will post all relevant info as available. No holding back Ok. Will post the article later. Aussie conference is in Scarborough, a seaside suburb of Perth. Few punched were thrown my way a while back, but refused to reply. So, for those who live in a glass house don't throw stones.
