All: One aspect of the Brian Russell report I think has been under commented upon. This is that his report shows a preponderance of PGM's. This I believe is new among the DD's. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong, but for IPM, MXAM, NAXOS, etc. the existence of PGM's has been talked about but not shown in quantity. I also think I recall seeing somewhere that the AZDOM has said there are no PGM's in AZ. I guess they didn't check the gravel dumps.<g> The preponderance of PGM's is also consistent with what I understand GPGI is supposed to be about. A COC showing mostly gold would have been troubling. Comments anyone? Randall

Joe, I like CP stuff, so does this wording: <<..Based on: 1. The presence of Platinum and Palladium. 2. The presence of nickel, cobalt and chromium elements normally associated with the PGMS. 3. The recent discovery that MAXAM'S Peoria Seven and Peoria South properties are in near proximity to an eroded porphyry copper deposit. 4. The history of PGMs having been recovered from some of the porphyry copper mines in Arizona over the past 30 years. MAXAM, as a result of these occurrences, has budgeted funds to initiate an expanded assay program of existing drill sample splits to include Nickel Sulfide Fire Assays and Instrumental Thermal Neutron Activation analyses, and inductively Coupled Plasma - Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and X-ray Flourescence Spectroscopy. (XRF) This program will more adequately define quantities of each of the Platinum Group Metals...>> It is that simple, test with modern methods or be OLDTECH instead of NEWTECH, right? Chucaleftoutnothing, neither will these damn tests for all the dirts!

And how far did LANL get, Joe, vs "The establishment of EMR's full scale development and pilot facility enables the company to undertake a methodical program of demonstrating the full range of interactions between microwave power and mineral products (including both intermediate and end products), engineering methods of controlling and optimizing the processes and scaling the operation up to industrial pilot size."? All we have to worry about now is how to put all those low-energy neutrons to good use ;)
