RE:Trail Smelter At that AGM Chad was responding to a question regarding the the cost to determine the overall Ge significance/metallurgic testing paramaters in relation to the values of all other minerals; Zn, Ag, Pb etc so far drill confirmed at North Rackla. His quick off the cuff answer related to assaying costs re Ge, i.e. (1%) insignificant. With respect to zero value for FWZ Ge , smelters in North America/Global have no precedent in paying miners to refine out the ore value for Ge. they keep it as a bonus. Teck is one of the few North American mining companies that have the ability to refine the by-product Ge and sell to market. But logic dictates that if they purchased and owned the concentrate they would process it and keep the profit. That's why they process the Red Dog Ge concentrate at Trail smelter and avoid third party Ge concentrates.
