thall,

My little vinegar fly, why do you not fly your little vinegar butt down to the mine and find out what goes on and forget all the conjecture. On the way, you will have to check in several times with those who pay your salary. No problem, just have them fund the trip and hope you still have a job once you get back. Clearly, you represent something other than you say you do, and we will see where you end up and where the poor investors in this God-forsaken little company end up! I know not where you send the bill, but I suspect that it is somewhere in South Africa, perhaps, to "Treasurer, Impalla Mines, Inc, SA!!

Keep it up, and one of us will track you to ground and expose your motives to the world!

Tracker, Jack!!

>Who runs the show?<

McKay runs the show at the mill. Jensen has delegated authority to him. Jensen's presence at the mill or input about production is and always has been irrelevant because he is not a technical guy.

Ideally McKay should be at the mill each day supervising. As it is now, he is in daily contact with the mill and demands and gets detailed reports. He will be at the mill fairly soon.

The purpose of the manual is to give the mill personnel a specific procedure to follow. Previously they were just shooting from the hip. Essentially, as I understand it, there never was an adequate test of the resin process. At this time they are, in reality, starting from the beginning. So let's wait and see how things turn out.

IMO, given McKays metallurgical background, his own tests of the ore at the Hassyaampa, his conviction that the resin process will work on this ore, my bet is that we will all be very happy in due time. This is not to say that adjustments will not have to be made as we go along even with the best of procedures.
