Chuck,
Your close, but to my way of thinking, my take on the P/R and only the P/R is that Mike McKay bet his lucrative Insurance company on GPGI!
"Analysis of the leach liquid indicates a combined gold and PGM content in excess of 10oz per ton of head ore"

Ask yourself why he would put his name on this his first press release, when almost any indication of fraud could/would cost him his Insurance license which is province (state-U.S.) regulated.

As I understand, his Insurance business has/is very successful, in fact he alone has been responsible for GPGI's funding for about a year. I can't speak for him but, I can deduce this:

1. He knows mining and he has experience in this type (non-ferrous) of refining.

2. He has had his opportunity to cut his losses and run, and to the contrary we find an evermore important role.

3. Stipulations which could be injurious to his name and business (my exact point). For those of you who have never owned your own business let me make this clear- YOU DO NOT EVER do anything to injure your cash cow.

4. In support of #3 above,consider his previous posts made referenced about his Mining resume. He never said he got out of the mining business because of a mining related problem EXCEPT as it prevented him from doing what was best for his "FAMILY" And so I say again why would he then say something that could potentially be injurious to his family. NO WAY!!!
