Doug, <<Can individual links in the chain be tested standalone>> Should be able to as a start. There may be dynamics that require testing as continues process, but I view that as refinement. I suspect that GPGI is still working on a static process model, a dynamic model to follow since there must be some rate dependent components. I can envision that there could be some dynamics that may cause the resin to release the PMs after they were initially absorbed, but that's just conjecture. I have no specific knowledge. Sabin should be able to help with the necessary understanding. My concern is that GPGI may not have knowledge of the chemistry occurring in the process. That starts with simple metal assay in the pregnant liquor. Since they are questioning the ore at this time, I'm almost convinced they haven't done the assays, something very basic IMO.

<<progress report be available to this thread>> Maybe if it identified the reason for the previous recovery failures.

<<Immediately, as in has already started ?>> If I understand the language, yes.

<<What numbers are needed to qualify as "goes well" ?>> Expectations are for ~3 OPT gold equivelent screened ore.
