It is hard to know how to read the results, namely of decent goodies from shipments 1, 2, versus neglible not only from shipment 3, not only from shipments 3 and 4, not only from shipments 3, 4, and 5, but from all of shipments 3, 4, 5, 6. Quite a run of bad results. Quite a contrast. Looking forward to better process control, and more consistent results. George

Ptaskmaster: I agree. The news release appears to indicate that there are questions remaining regarding the distribution of metals in the ore pile. I wish they would sample that pile by drilling some cores and remove this big question mark once and for all. Lee

PTaskmaster, The ore pile is kinda interesting. Before this new tech system was developed the ore pile was actually tailings from prior (turn of the century I think) mining. Some years ago this pile was screened by the Arizona Dept of Transportation for the gravel to pave roads. The pile is more homogenious than normal piles for that reason. My question is. If the final outcome of this process is proved to be profitable, will we be able to find the roads and can we stake a claim on the gravel under them? Talk about streets paved in gold!! Bruce

Ptaskmaster -- You write: I've probably missed something here, but it seems that there is an underlying assumption of homogeneity of precious metals in the ore pile. I understand that mixing of gases and liquids, much less a solid ore pile, is actually quite complicated, so why should not one assume that there is a "nugget [-like] effect" and test with sufficient samples to resolve this possibility? As has been discussed here many time, the ore pile is alluvial (and therefore one can assume having a basic homogeneity), with very small "micro-clusters" of precious metals, but no "nuggets."
