RE:RE:video shows no drilling for some or all pilot feed fulogas1 - Yes, during production, "just scooping up" is all that's needed. But this large, clay sample is for our pilot plant. An extremely important step to help make up minds about our project. Bill is taking the procurment of said sample material for the plant very seriously.
Keep in mind CYP never "Scooped up" clay for any testing. As far as all the NR I've seen. Why didn't they just "scoop up" material for testing? Maybe they wanted a sample that contained every level of our project so that there wouldn't be any reason for someone to say something like, Hey, the test worked good on the surface clay, but how do we know if you'll get the same results using deeper clay?
This is important testing. The plant is testing too. There can be no room for doubt.
When someone buys CYP, they have the right to know how every layer of clay responds to all testing.
If CYP was only scooping up our clay at surface, then why do they need to plan to SCOOP? Just look at news releases (NR) like,
June 3, 2020 / "Planning for the collection of material for the pilot plant program is underway"

or - Aug 11, 2020 / "Cypress is currently evaluating alternatives for procurment of sample material & location for pilot plant."

Why not use "fresh material" maybe to get the best results? CYP thought fresh material could make a difference for testing. Is the pilot plat as important?
April 11, 2019 NR / "The program also provided fresh material for geotechnical and ongoing metallurgical testing."

Fulogas1, maybe I'm wrong and you're right in that Bill is doing all this planning...just to "Scoop up" some surface clay. After all, what was I thinking?
