RE: GMP...
RE: GMP... I was a bit disappointed on the call. Not that I heard anything I didn't like - there were no suprises (and I guess maybe I was disappointed but not surprised there weren't any). Didn't have the impression that O'Neill prepared much of a presentation in advance - seemed a teeny bid unorganized. Was most suprised at lack of participation on the Q&A as compared to the last one where there was abudandant institutional participation. I'd have to guess we won't hear much over next month or so - they will need time for the pregnant leach solution to work whatever magic it can now that they are doing 1200 gpm of solution flow. I'd have to guess 1 to 2 months at full irrigation capacity before they truly know what they are getting out on the backend. One has to wonder if proper irrigation produces linear or geometric recoveries - ie are recovered ounces 1/2 at 1/2 full flow, or perhaps less given that processes within the heap are not internally optimized. Honestly, I have no idea and can't find much of an answer googling around. Anybody have a trained opinion? I'm hoping for the latter as that would imply nice improvements in the pipeline with the booster pump installed. I will give them credit for getting that fixed quickly, as promised, from the prior call.
