Mike, Thank you for your report. It places much more "credibility factor" on the information we have been getting from the company. It seems the production manager has been busy getting his ducks all in line as well as a few attitudes. Thanks again. Regards, Jack Parker p.s. any conversation regarding another GPGI meeting. Sure would like to have a reason to visit that area when it gets cold here...

Mr. McKay: As the street musician said, "All contributions are appreciated." Doubly so for your well-written, informative, up-to-date postings. Thank-you for sharing your insights with the thread. I'm especially encouraged about 2 things you noted. The first is that the resin recovery rates are improving as evidenced by the darker color. I was told by Russell that he expected this to happen, but this is the first confirmation I have that their efforts in this regard appear to be working. The second item is that they have set-up a separate R&D facility. YES, YES, YES!!! No more production hold-ups while we try to "fine-tune" the process. I like that a lot, and it's got to create a better working relationship between Russell/Sonny & the mill crew as well. I expect we'll be hearing from Sabin very soon those infamous words, "The check's in the mail." Only it will be, not once, but every week going forward too! It's better than Christmas boys and girls. Thanks again. I look forward to your next visit and a report on your findings. On another topic: I'm sorry, but when today's volume topped 223,000 shares (about 4 times normal), and the price moves not a whit, it seems a little strange to me. "Dark force," disgruntled, uninformed shareholder, MM shorting-- I'd sure like to know which if any are true. Does anyone know of a website where we can find out how many shares changed hands at the bid and the asked? Regards, Jeff

Hi Mike, Needless to say I am both very impressed with your professional approach to Global and grateful to you for being willing to assume this role. You have succeeded in moving the operation of Global from a mom and pop arrangement towards a professional level. Again, many thanks and I am convinced that we will all benefit from the evolution of this company as a start up to a successful enterprise. Best regards, Ed

Mr. McKay: I appreciate your post also. With all of the production oriented activity going on it would be a great disappointment for GPGI not to succeed now. Yet it seems reasonable that the first few checks from Sabin may be nothing special. Thanks for reminding us of this. Randall

Mike McKay, ROTFLMAO <There is a very large supply of ore that is ready for leaching. The ballmill bearing has not been repaired as of yet. It should be repaired within the next 3-4 weeks.> We are now talking about 12 weeks to repair a bearing? Even kitty litter miners can do this in days. <On my way out of Phoenix I stopped into the company that supplies our pumps, tanks, etc. I talked with the sales representative who handles our account. I left after about 15 minutes, he has a high opinion of us. The orders we had discussed were being processed and payment was in place. He offered his business card, I will be keeping in touch with him as a follow up> Just who is this company? <I would like to thank Mr. Jensen for allowing my visit and the production staff and management for their patience and assistance. I ask their continued patience as I will be in touch with them frequently so that next time I should be up-to-date when I arrive and the time I spend can be focused on the future.> Why is it that other DD promoter, potential investors, and investors can't get a tour? <GPGI is also the first US firm to produce PGMs and have them refined in the USA. Stillwater still has to ship their's offshore for final processing. We can take pride in our accomplishment.> How soon will they report this production to the USGS as they are required to do? <Thanks to all. I will write again in 4-6 weeks.> Maybe on your next visit you can stop by Maricopa County and find out why they don't have any water quality or air quality permits. Maybe you should also advise slick willy, I think he and GPGI might have similar credibility problems. Tim
