Doug, I think we are on to something. If it blows out to be
something real or not perhaps we could see GPGI up to a buck
on a wing and a prayer.
I really would like to see everyone get their money back
before I go and alert every stock thread on the Internet
of what this hemorrhoid Jensen is all about.

GO JAN2!

Doug, just because someone shake a fancy name (ligand) like a red blanket before a bull, it does not mean that blanket does not smell from onions. Ligand is simply a term describing "elongated" chemical bonds, particularly of the p and d type, and sometimes admixtures thereof. Transition metals often form ligand type bonds (and the PGM group is part of the transition metals, together with Iron and few others, like all the rare earths). The technology involved is really a variant of the ion exchange column and onion peeling will continue ad nauseum with this one as well. If you read the company self agrandising lit. you'll see that the system is designed for polishing waste water from PPM range to PPB range. Before you get the waste water on the columns, you need to precipitate as much as you can from the wastes in settling ponds. Not knowing what are the other metals in the pregnant liquor GPGI is hoping to use, I cannot tell you what chance they have, but my WAG is that they would have 100 times more iron in that pregnant liquor than all the PGM combined, thus poisoning the poor ligands.
