RE: RR told me he's goneAre you saying that he has sold his position? I know he exercised his warrants a long time ago, but according to SEDI he hasn't sold any shares lately (he owns more than 10%, making him an insider by default).
If the pilot plant is running as intended, then it might be what is needed to secure an expanded agreement with Codelco. Zeitler has indicated in the past couple of conference call that Amerigo needed to demonstrate that they could handle oxidized tailings before Codelco would give them access to additional old tailings.
A real shame that Amerigo isn't doing a share buy-back at the current price, though.
