Doug, The objective is to have the plant ready to go to a 50-ton per day production mode as soon as we get government approval. From a technical point-of-view the system, methods, etc. work. They work to the extent that at 50-ton per day we would be able to pay all direct, indirect, head office costs and equipment replacement costs and still produce a very significant profit. In my proposal to Mr.Jensen I am recommending that a 50-ton trial be initiated as soon as we have government clearance. This 50-ton trial would be reported in detail with respect to cost, profit, etc. and used to be used to validate our process manual. Your Questions: (1) Interim target = 50-ton per day capacity by October 9. (2) Objective = plant ready to go to a 50-ton per day production mode as soon as we get government approval. (3) 50-ton trial be initiated as soon as we have government clearance. (4) The equipment on order, is it needed to execute (1), (2) or (3). ? (5) Is the government approval item the same as the government clearance, as in do these two reference the same object ? (6) The government approval/clearance points to what specifically ? Where in the system are these currently ? Is there an estimated time for approval ? Answers as a Gues by ME: (1) Interim target = 50-ton per day capacity by October 9.- A- Throw that out, or bash in the sunshin and wait! (2) Objective = plant ready to go to a 50-ton per day production mode A- Yes but when, when it is TIME! as soon as we get government approval. (3) 50-ton trial be initiated as soon as we have government clearance. A- Yep. I guess.? (4) The equipment on order, is it needed to execute (1), (2) or (3). ? A- Good Question andd so is, "What came first, the Chicken or the Egg!"
