Larry: I do not think IPMCF is a scam, but there is a possibility that they are over optimistic relative to extraction costs. If you remember about a year ago I was asked why I preferred GPGI and I said because their ore contains at least 8 times as much goodies, and thus they can afford an expensive extraction process in excess of $500/ton. If IPMCF comes out with a total of 1 oz/ton and the process is very ecxpensive (including electrowinning and multiple hot extraction prefaced by extremely fine grinding), then there are questions as to whether this beatiful deposit can yield a profitable mine.
