Laser, When you state that the 15 TPD operation has not proved >reliable< you are only stating what has already been stipulated by me directly and by McKay indirectly. McKay affirms that >from a technical point-of-view the system, methods, etc. work< This system has not yet been tried. Now its going to be tried. Why dont you wait until its tried before you jump to conclusions

Laser, one of your comments is really a question that has not been answered. The fact finding and error correction trip resulted in the following: <<< ... process manual. It is fine that a manual is accurate, but it must also be user-friendly for the staff that have to use it. >>> You said: <<< Time to spend the investors money wisely and hire a consultant with some expertise in current PGM extraction. >>> In my experience it is easier to use a machine or object, than to design such. And it is easier to design, than to identify bugs. And easier to identify bugs, than to create a fix for a repair. If GPGI does not have a "jack-of-all-trades" in the PMG extraction process on site for the next month, then to me it would not only be wise to do as you say and hire a consultant that has a grasp from start to finish, but to me its needed to ensure success. The PMG are there in the good GPGI dirt, and current GPGI management is telling shareholders that the next time will be better. If this GPGI can take another hic-up and be able to try again with no problem with fall-out, then no worry if they are successful or not, they get another try. But if the next time is important to be successful, then the money and ego hit for a proven expert that "puts out fires" should happen. To me, I don't see this happening, and unless the expert at the site has experience BIG TIME with people using manuals under development, then I see another hic-up and stock price under ten cents. (off topic) Tim (thall), do you also not know that the best conditions to create vinegar is the opposite of that for wine, in that for vinegar you store the stuff to be converted in a room that the tempeature will vary from warm to cool every day, like an uninsulated attic.
