Hi Zeev, please don't go too far.... .....your objective take on GPGI is all there is. GPGI shipping with bad grammar and screaming fonts is still information that we all would and should know about.... RB's GPGI has all the tailings of seed, skin, yeast & sugar. 1 week left of holiday and then back to the lit city....) Thor

Zeev - Glad to see you and J.E. posting again. The yap yaper's posting here recently have caused most thread readers to leave. Information on shipments and progress at Hassyampa are available by calling Dick or Robert at Global's offices in Salt Lake. I spoke with Dick a couple of weeks ago to ask about visiting the hassy site and was told of a recent shipment to Sabin Refiners. They are operating at a zero discharge rate and doing small batches of 600# at a time. The ending results have been sent for refining and $$ results as well as OZ's per ton info won't be known until late September. I feel that Global will make some sort of results announcement at that time. Dick also mentioned a JV that is currently in progress at the Hassy site, that will "prove out" by Chain of Custody sampling and testing with accredited engineering people conducting the process. I visited the site on Tuesday this week and spoke to Wayne regarding what if any progress is being made. He confirmed the C.O.C. test program and explained that it actually is being done in two different phases. One is where they process ore with platinum removed, and then reused as inquarts until the juice is saturated and the results shipped to Sabin. The second phase will be done with new "outside source inquarts" added to see if the results are different from the inhouse inquart results. Wayne also mentioned that the old problem of Global getting different assay numbers on different metal content percentages, and the refiners finding something different has ended. The most recent results are actually better that Global can assay on site, in that a larger percentage of platinum is being reported back (and paid for) by the refiner. These JV people are serious in that they put their $$ into the COC study, and have funded that process. Yes, there is a $$ split from the resulting refinery checks, as could be expected from using OPM. The info I have shared is in no way intended for anyone to use in making any investment decisions on buying or selling anything. I own shares in Global and have held some of them for years. My error most likely, but the money involved is the same kind of money I take to the track, simply excess entertainment cash. And I am often rewarded with a nice trifecta that reassures me that stranger things can happen. So, the Glogal dollars are like trifecta $$$, just waiting for the starters bell to ring. <vbg> Regards, jack parker
