Sounds like a real good thing for credibility. I wouldn't want them to do it too much though as it wouldn't be profitable IMO.

Bruce,
I know how you feel, it seems like it takes forever with these mines to accomplish anything.
I went down to Mexico in 1973 and working by hand in less than two years at a cost of less than $ 32,000.00 we found a silver mine containing about one billion ounces of silver. Of course this mine was a vein and I am sure that is much easier than these DD's.

Bruce, unfortunately, it does not appear that Maxam has any facility to do such a thing. Since they didn't "allocate funds to upgrade" the recently completed pilot plant, and since they are now apparently pursuing the $5 million MCM facility instead, it would seem they would need $5 million in order to run a couple of batches through the process.
