<<Le Furlong:11/19/97 "With the information in hand, management now proceed to now test more than 30 recovery methods immediatally available to determine which one might work best." Can anyone explain this statement?>> well, there are 30 methods they can try... one might work. If one of those doesn't work, then they'll probably try 30 more, etc...

Le Furlong:11/19/97 "With the information in hand, management now proceed to now test more than 30 recovery methods immediatally available to determine which one might work best." Rich, My read on that statement is that they're resorting to what my mentor called "Brute Empiricism" -- or, in Oklahoma, "Dustbowl Empiricism" <G>. Basically, it means to proceed with experiments without the benefit or direction of theory or of prior experience. That is, in the present case, it seems that they've learned nothing and are simply trying 30 different (hopefully inexpensive) recovery techniques -- a shotgun approach if you will. For my part, I'm still trying to understand what happened to that wonderful recovery method that was yielding 0.25+ opt Au without degredation up through 900kg samples. Remember that one -- the recovery process that was going to be bulk tested by BD back some months ago. Instead we got a process based on 2, 20-pounders that yielded low values of PM's and that won't be utilized (thank goodness). Where'sTheBulkO. H.
