Richard, I believe it is generally accepted that screening the ore concentrates the values. (GPGI & MAXAM) Stockpile construction segregates material by size. And, again, with a stockpile this big (1.1 million tons according to Mr. Fishbaine) I doubt the material is well blended with respect to the source. <<However, who really knows at this point about homogeneity, but I would think that would be right at the top of GPGI's worry list, years ago. If I were working there, I would know that answer long before now. >> It is too bad you are not working there. VBG The ore is difficult to assay and does not always return the same values. Therefore, how could they know if it is homogeneous or not. Maybe their assay does work, it is just that some of the pile has it and some doesn't. <<Have you considered that maybe they already do have that answer?>> Yes, I have considered that. However, based on some of the other events that onsite management has demonstrated, I would be will to bet they haven't. Tim
