Saggy,

According to Mike Thomas "Twiford couldn't balance
a simple chemical equation let alone design a process."

Yes, I had a long conversation with Mr. Thomas this afternoon.

Needless to say, he had a very low opinion of Twiford.

... brought him up to date about their new reserves on the Hassy,
he said that was Bu--s-it. Said "it was impossible."

... described it as weird.

... recall's that management (Jensen) was not really interested
in devoting the time or money necessary to establish a mine
but was more interested in manipulating and selling stock... Tim

Tim, it seems to me that it wasn't that long ago
you were making fun of Mike Thomas and his capability.

Now he's your highly regarded expert?

... was to ridicule the "high school teacher".

Now he's your expert?

Interesting indeed.

I dug through my pile of old stuff and found...

... while memory and perceptions change.

Well Tim,
I would suggest you ask Thomas for the report and read it.
... my current understanding has it consistent with Global
in mineralization (desert dirt).

Let me say this about Thomas...(I was in GPGI at the time)

Thomas knows absolutely zilch about what Russ Twiford is doing now,
because Russ IS THE cutting edge on this process. For goodness sakes

HE is the developer.

There is NO ONE to ask about it....he is the only one that knows!!!

How do I know this for a fact??

I have called him "friend" for 39 years!!

... my wife have spent many weekends as Russ and Rosie's house...

We were at his home (and lab) 2 weeks ago...
I was in the lab with him...
we were looking at the "platinum sponge"
it assays @ 0.9948 pure platinum...
they don't have to send it to a "refinery"...
He is one of the nicest gentlemen that you would ever
have the occasion to know. He will readily admit to anyone
that he has been working on a process for at least 18 years...
mostly going in the wrong direction.

About 6 mos ago he encountered what I would describe
as a "Eureka" factor that allowed him to reach this point
in time. He could not do what he is doing now...6 mos ago.

Thats the Gods Truth!!
Does it work now??
LIKE A CHARM!!!
EVERY TIME!!!
Will they produce Platinum at the Mill???
Betcha ass!!!

Shorty1; You are right about Russ being a nice guy.
I met him about a year and a half ago when I visited the Hassy.
He certainly went out of his way to show what was going on at the time.

Shorty, I had an odd conversation with a friend
who does venture cap deals with small companies.

He was contacted by a business associate who does the same thing.

They are raising funds to take public a mining co using,
you guessed it, gpgi's recovery method!

These people are heavy hitters-not fools, nor scam artists.

His comment "most of these co's are pretty flaky but the process WORKS!!!

Ted - since GPGi is up 483% in a month,
you have apparently acquired the shakes.

Running out of negative missives?

Your minions running around like chickens with their head cut off?

Feeling good and satisfied you are doing a good job?

When are you up for a review?
