Hey, no one putting in a good word for Wayne Palmer? I found him to be a pretty nice guy. Perhaps he got over-optimistic, but I found him to be cooperative and honestly trying to do his best. He has been around this mine a LONG time, and I expect he will be around a long time into the future. As I remember it, the bottom land being farmed near the mill is owned by the family. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

There is no consensus existing in support of the assertion by Mr. Currie. Palmer owns the land and mill at the Hassayampa site. Russell Twiford worked/is working on the best (any?) processes to extract the PGMs. Jensen, even though he has negatives, has kept the company going for 15 years and got Sonny Lamont (who was owner of Oro Grande) to sell rights to GPGI.

While there is a need for more oversight and hands on management, I believe that we now have that (at least at the mill) with Mike McKay. Give McKay 6 months - if we don't have favorable results by then, we are in deep doo-do and a change in management (even if possible) probably will not solve the technical problems.

Regards,
Bob
