We should have drilling results early this week.
It would be nice to see some news pertaining to recovery process.
Happy investing..

>> New methods can be employed to improve recovery process <<

I do believe some kind of technology advance is necessary to take full advantage of this material. Perhaps EMR and Bateman can make that kind of contribution. I would be interested in finding some technical information on the microwave technology. Do you happen to know where something besides press release information might be found about it?

I've been hearing about efforts to use microwaves for a couple of years but haven't seen anything which speaks to the physics of the process. On the surface it wouldn't appear to be useful as the primary impact of microwaves is on water. There isn't a lot of coupling of electromagnetic radiation with most minerals. It may be that they are inducing fracturing, thereby allowing penetration of the cyanide solution, of encapsulated water. There may also be some other chemistry of physics based effect that is more subtle but still beneficial. If it is an applicable technology the IGCO relationship with Bateman should be helpful.
