Plasma at IOC
Talked to a worker from IOC a couple of days ago. I'll pass it on... The testing of the plasma torch - How many were tested I don't know - resulted in some problems that needed fixing. Most of the problems were not the torches specifically, but, the lack of available sustained electrical power. Apparently they had to manipulated the power input to get it up to speed, and, the gerrymandering did not work well. The new hydro line from Churchill Falls to Labrador City is being built to specifically address this problem. I have no idea when that line will be completed. I don't even know if the info I'm presenting here is accurate. The worker who relayed this to me was not top management, but, one who had some passing familiarity with the torches. I have not owned PYR for three years, as I developed a distrust of everything they told us. But, if you're a long suffering holder, maybe this may help. Just don't take it to the bank.

So.... "I don't even know if the info I'm presenting here is accurate." Got it.
