It works for all of us. Very good. The decision making process is a long one but just MAY be worth the wait. Very nice numbers. So the head ores are from various polaces ...I wonder if we just assume most are from the OGM. The "Mystery Scientist"...if you are reading, THANK YOU for the help. Very much. Chuca

Excuse my ignorance, gentlemen, but I am just a farmer. If the INCO report about OR is correct, the best values we get there (prills from magnetics) yield are (Apendix 4).5167 for Pt, .0779 for Pd, .2722 for Rh, and 0.0525 for Au, all in troy oz/short tons. That is the best, many of the analysis are much poorer. So, if we are getting at Hassayampa all these multiple ounces, why bother and divert to ORO? Excuse this farmer again, but in my worst dream, I cannot see electrowinning costing more than $1000/ton in extraction costs (and probably $500 is very rational), why not simply go the elctrowinning route which they have been working on for so long? Why start another onion peeling process at ORO when, if you believe the results from these 8 samples, this heap is simply oozing the goodies. Something does not make much sense to me. Some of these results show more than $3000 worth of goodies in the ore, it sure would make sense to spend even $1000 per ton to get out $3000. What am I missing. This farmer would like to know. Zeev
