Thanks bigwilly. As usual you get the news to the forums, hot off the press.This is another confirmation of the progress towards the stated goal of getting to mill capacity in June. Rocky, suggested that LBE had never made any cost or production targets. When challenged to back this up with a target that had been missed, he went silent (which is a pleasant state).The mill is a key element in LBE
