RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Zenyatta attending NGAgraphene ExpoI'm going to top post over your crappie response.
That photo of me on a mule is a personal triumph for me. I have a degenerative neurological condition that had me severely disabled for years, prior to that photo. After dozens of invasive procedures, they were able to temporarily put the disease into remission. The treatments caused severe weight gain. How many site visits to Mexico have you done?
About the bulk sample permit. At least you started thinking about the engineering required to pull this off. An ice road may be a solution for both getting heavy equipment in and out, and for transport of any recovered mineralization. But there is so much more to think about.
In order to even file the bulk sample permit application, they need informed consent from the FNs. That means that they'll need to provide site impact and mitigation strategies. But before you can do that, you need to have an engineering proposal. You know, with details.
By what method do they extract the mineralization? That's more than a trivial question to answer, considering the overburden and water table over the pipes. Hauling it off the property is more straight forward, but will the creation of a haul road require an environmental assessment? Don't assume the answer is no.
Let's say the succeed in getting the minerals off the property. ZEN doesn't have a mill. Toll processing at this scale is far from inexpensive. And I'm here to tell you that Jordan's bench scale data for flotation is only a guide for actual pilot plant operation. You don't just push the on button on a pilot plant flotation concentrator and expect it to perform as you wish. And if you want to collect engineering performance data from the mill for a PFS, that increases the costs dramatically.
Then there's purification. The two-stage upgrading procedure recently reported has never been done before except at bench scale. Who's going to do that part, and how? And at what cost?
Then graphene production. There's a reason graphene is still so expensive. It's hard to make in commercial quantities.
And off-take testing is not revenue generating. They don't buy your material so they can test it for compliance with their specifications.
ZEN is virtually broke at the moment, compared to the costs that would be associated with obtaining and processing a bulk sample.
If you keep laughing your azz off like that, what will hold up your pants?

Lmao... you think about winter, ice and trucks. Is the picture getting clear now. For you I’m not too sure.
As for the permit it NOT LIKE your problems. Zenyatta has a great relationship with the indigenous people and treat them with respect.
