Hello Jack, Good to see you around. Will be interesting on MMGG. Annual meeting is late next week. Things will be exciting this summer. Drilling, working on listing, silver and zinc prices, and the mine plan. Will be fun. Hope you are having a good summer. Tom

The market for tailings pond development still seems fairly fractaled, Benoit. There are all sorts of theoretical processes to wrest tiny metals from ground up rock, and the history of mines re-running their tailings is as long as mining itself. Indeed everywhere you go someone has tried it. KGI made their first 50 million in tailings and waste reprocessing. Grade was rather high. But so far brokers are still skittish and money scarce. Still Kingf----r took a look at a sulphide tail thingie not long ago and there was a promise of some money for the thing as soon as we got our vehicle together. I still have a weather eye on a low cost gold thing that I gave a poke at in 2004, and may poke at again. If a gravity process can be proven I will try to make it fly. Still have an eye on the waste-ore dump thingie for under a million, but still no interest. Brokers sell what is popular. What seems to work. The offbeat gets a listen over a latte, but no callbacks. Ni-Cu-Co has some cheapo ammonia leach methods that show promise on smallish resources. Oxidized sulphides still pose a problem for standard reagants. There are reagants for oxidized sulphides, and there may be processes for de-oxidizing sulphides that obviates this. Once a gravity con was made, several standard processes could be tried, from regrinding, which is an old standby, to bio-ox, which has been tried in other areas. What gives all this a boost is, of course, metal price increases, which today were a {good} kick in the pants again. EC<:-}
