Michael: Your posts are most interesting; please keep up the good work. I'm pleased you feel Naxos could possibly grind 10K to 50K tons a day, but I worry that you'd need massive infrastructure to accomplish that. What would the grind time be, because if it takes, say, many hours to grind the ore to the requisite size, you'd need enough attritor capacity to hold up to 50K tons on a daily basis, and that would require enormous square footage and electricity requirements? IMO, all the company needs to produce to prove its point is 200,000 ounces of PMs a year (a reasonable startup amount for any junior gold). Hence, Naxos need only process some 200 tons a day (based on only 3 oz/ton) to accomplish this task, and this seems much more doable than 50,000 tons a day. I'd appreciate any comments you have on the foregoing. Regards, Rand

Mr. Wendell; Ah, at last an answer to my posting # 83 where I inquired about physical chemistry. Thank you. A couple of questions; from your information can we extrapolate 1000 Mesh Tyler is 1000 separations per inch (and I would appreciate a short exposition on Mesh Tyler vs standard sieve sizes)? What are the physical characteristics of post Johnson Process tailings? What handling or re-depostion problems do you foresee? Your comments on the professionalism of Dr. Johnson match what I have heard as well. Thank you for your additional information. What is your prediction on the applicability of the Johnson Process to not only other DDs but other deposits around the world? Jerard P
