Yes, please do; we are both aware that the GPGI of a year ago and the methods they were using then bear scant resemblance to the GPGI of today. I don't know into what "mesh" GPGI is currently pounding their rocks but at least Mr. Twiford, being a scientist, should be curious to learn if a finer grind would give up more "goodies" from the leaching step. I get very nervous when I see "Not Invented Here" thinking being used; please see if he might be amenable to at least trying a sample batch run through the KDS To all others, sorry for the slightly OT direction of this post, but there is the possibility of a customer for FASC's KDS machine under discussion. Thanks, Ed

Ed: I believe it has been tried already. FASC I know did process some volcanics and found that the stuff was just too hard on the chains. They had to be changed every 6 hours or so. Now GPGI ore is not that hard, but it might present a similar problem. Testing is not that easy as you would have to shut down, clean everything, process a significant amount of ore, and then clean everything afterward. I would rather see GPGI test one of the vibramills that MAXAM is using. They could get a loaner, I understand. Lee
