Zeev, some of us greatly appreciate informed questions, why don't you ask yours of Mike McKay? They would be of interest to many, perhaps even more so if left unanswered?

Zev: I don't see why the stock should move on this post. Although it is a nice summary, I don't see anything very new in it. We previously knew that they were installing new resin columns, etc. I think most are waiting for Sabin's payment and whether they can refine this stuff and give us a decent profit on their operations.

To: Zeev Hed In the second paragraph of your 7073 " . . . I may not get answers, so why bother (I did not last time)" Zeev, that statement is not very fair. Let us look at your question 6543 " . . . for instance can you tell us more about the resin and how often it gets to saturation" The open-ended question "more about the resin" would have resulted in literally hundreds of pages, I don't have the time. In response to the second part of your question, "how often it gets to saturation" - I did not answer because I thought it was obvious - ONCE. If someone asks a question and does not get the answer they are looking for I would expect them to do their own due diligence and then report back on this thread, sharing their finding(s) with all of us. Have you called Dick Jensen? Investigated resins etc.? Will you be reporting soon? You have to understand I am not your research assistant, I wish I could be but I hear the pay is not too good (vbg). Zeev, thank you for your praise 7073 " . . . the last time Mike submitted a report the stock doubled . . . " I think though on closer analysis other events were much more significant - GPGI reported a $1,010 of recoverable PGM per ton which was followed up by a Sabin confirmation. To All I may have implied that I would not contribute again until my next visit. I will be frequently following up by phone with management of GPGI. I will be focused on the delivery and putting into production the additional equipment that was purchased. Initially increasing production into the 50-60 ton per day range is the goal. Once we are there, 5-7 weeks later the large cheques will start to arrive. I prefer large cheques. Thall 7091 I am also disappointed in the ball mill repair situation. It is on my follow-up list. Tim, when is the last time you called the company? Don't hold back, call them and share with them your knowledge and insight, offer to help them out. Your question was "Just who is this company?" I'm sorry Tim but I purposely left out the company's name. I did not want you wasting the time of the sales rep, answering your "ten thousand questions" when I want him expediting the delivery of the additional equipment. Priorities Tim, you just have to keep the priorities straight. I think the cost of a ticket to the production facility had to be paid back last spring at the latest. I think in order to get a ticket now you will have to offer either a JV or offer to buy the company. You should call Dick Jensen at 1-801-277-0744 and discuss it with him. He is the only one to talk to on the topic. My guess is that a JV has a ? million minimum. Buying the company - like Mr. Kiam. Well I won't part with my shares for anything less than $10.00 now - I will want a lot more later this year when large cheques are in hand. To all, I apologize for my tone. I have a number of family, friends and associates who invested at $1.75-$2.00, then again at $1.00 based on information I provided. I want to keep my friends and help my family. I get enough questions from them and then a few gentlemen start trying to use up my time - I start to misbehave and I am sorry. For the record, I suspect that GPGI read my visit report about the same time as SI thread watchers. I am acting solely on what I think to be my and my fellow investors best interest, which is to get GPGI profitable - the bigger the profits the better and the sooner the better. I'm sorry I digress. To all, thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I will write again when I know more. I will also try to be more diplomatic. Mike McKay
