Spoke with Jean about an hour agoHe said he didn't know why Echelon was selling their shares. All he knows is that they were buying shares late last year and decided to sell them.
I asked him about the plant and he said that everything has been installed and it will take a few weeks to get the metallurgy setup properly.
He said they hired a metallurgist to make sure the plant extracts the maximum amount of gold from the ore. He also said that they no longer accept tailings because of its low grade. They now only accept ore because it contains a higher grade of gold.
Overall, he seemed very upbeat and was looking forward to seeing the plant running at full capacity.
