Ed, if Twiford is already making such calculations, could you find out what is roughly the size of the resin beds. Or better yet what is the volume of solution from a ton of ore (he has about 30 lbs of the copper laden with the goodies, I would guess that a thousand lbs of solution would be ample). Zeev

To all: many of the operations presently allow for production at the rate of 15 tons per day on a single shift. Drying requires a double shift to do 15 tons per day. Ed/Twiford indicated that the processing of the material through the resin columns needs to be increased slowly - I am not sure what road blocks may exist there. I would imagine that you could add more resin columns to increase throughput. Regards, Bob

To Ed and all here, My thoughts here relate to trend which is certainly looking more positive and to how we shareholders can become a positive force. I understand that we all have questions and doubts and I also understand that the company is small and under great pressure not only from its detractors and its competitors (GPGI as potential competitor to large interests) and also from us the stockholders who have questions. One thing that we on the thread tried to establish some time ago was an internet representative in Bob Walsh. Bob has certainly tried to fulfill his role, and I laud him for that. He is not the company, and we all must realize that. There are many here who can answer the "historical questions" and argue the issue. If someone needs my opinion, then all they must do is ask. What I ask is that for a period of a few weeks, we collectively leave this small, struggling company to its most important efforts. Their job is to get the goodies out of the "present orepile", and look to their "next, and next orepile". When I respond to your questions, I will attempt to recite to you chapter and verse on the GPGI facts as I know and have recorded. If I am wrong, then others with collective knowlege can correct me or others can just Poo Poo the whole thing, which bothers me not as all can have their view, even Pearlite mining experts commenting on precious metals processes. The beauty of the internet is that all of us can be experts. I love it--do you know what an expert is in my view-- it is a "drip under pressure"!! For many years, I worked with people who were "professional experts" most were basically lazy folks who had been washed by the currents of their laziness into the backwater places of their profession. Suddenly, something happened in the course of events that placed them in the limelight, and they did not like being there. Being a "government expert" is not an easy job, I understand. First, there are years of inactivity and being out of the net, then you must jump up at the first crisis and be "up to date" and respond appropriately, or be fired! I wonder about the "state" experts also. They must be even more isolated, lonely and forgotten than the "federal" experts!! I must point out here that I make no specific reference to the "Arizona" government experts, and certainly no reference to the "Arizona Beaureau of "No PGM's in Arizona"!! What Complete Fools!!!
