Eric, Sorry to barge in, just wondering do you know if they are adding flocculants to the discharge from the plant to help the fines drop out in the settling pond.

TIA
Steve

Well, Eric

The pieces are starting to fall into place. Let me see if I've got it straight now. Tonnage is accounted for by counting the rail cars, dump trucks, etc.

The plant is a great big washing machine that separates the fine gold from the clay during various cycles.

The gold, fine and otherwise, being heavier than everything else gravitates to the bottom of the machine and is collected for further processing.

The last cycle pushes the slurry that is left out of the machine, down the hill, and into settling ponds.

I still have lots of questions, but think I'll wait a while.
After the company makes it's first millions.......... I think a professionally shot video of the whole operation from start to finish and then recorded to CD, would make a nice shareholder/investor package!

Thanks again,

Keith
