Dave, I totally agree. GP’s website now shows moly at $10.25, so things are definitely looking up. After all, look how our JV pardner popped [sic] today, must be a sign of something. 
Let’s get this baby hummin’ again, prove up some additional reserves, and get MR on the bonanza map.

Ashdown Update
February 22, 2007
The above photo shows the production from a one-week run of the mill. Each Supersack contains approximately 3900 pounds of molybdenite, which averages about 54% elemental Mo. The mill currently can process all the ore the mine is producing, and further development work is being performed to bring mineral production up to match the mill's 100-ton per day capacity. This ramping process will take several months, and involves increasing the working faces and numbers of miners.
Johnny pauses from his stope work near the Sylvia Vein (in background). Crews continue to mine the southern end of the sill drift to generate mill feed, while other crews concentrate on driving a new raise into the high-grade section of the vein. Once this development work is completed, additional crews can start extraction of mineralization, which will, in turn, feed more material to the mill and allow for gradual increase in output of saleable concentrates. Until the mine is producing approximately 75 tons of mill feed each and every day, the mill will be operated when sufficient mill feed has been stockpiled to allow for continuous production of at least one shipment, which averages about 48,000 pounds of bagged end-product.
Tom and Jason share a smile as they finish up the week's mill run. Mill crews, including operators and assay specialists, work round the clock to maintain the "balance" in the flotation cells, monitor flow rates, test water chemistry, and adjust reagents constantly. The training and learning that is occuring will pay dividends when the mine production reaches the rate at which the mill can operate full time throughout each month. By then, the chemisty of the mineralization, which is unique for each ore body, can be mastered, resulting in increasing efficiencies of production.

Rob Martin stands next to Golden Phoenix's Ashdown display at the Northwest Mining Association's annual meeting held in Reno December 6, 7 and 8. President Dave Caldwell and Director Corby Anderson, who are trustees of the NWMA, were co-chairs of this year's conference. Attendance was at record levels for the event which was held at the Nugget Resort in Sparks.
The NWMA was founded in 1895, and represents mining companies and technical support providers to the industry throughout the nation and internationally. Our display, which included samples of our high-grade molybdenite, was very well received. Geologist Jonathan Sprecher, gave a well-attended talk on the history and progress of the Ashdown project.

Hi Belgie,
slowly I turned and crept up to the flowered minivan parked behind the 18-wheeler, pulled back the curtain to reveal doc at the controls……oh, wait, that was another dream…..I mean nightmare. LOL

Ashdown Update
December 1, 2006
On Tuesday, the mill was fired up to begin the process of adjusting the grind and chemistry. The mill feed is coming from the South Sylvia Zone and is of very high-grade. Technicians have set up reagent feeders, and part of the metallurgical process now includes the use of cyanide to depress the copper pyrites. The mine is ramping up to provide sufficient mill feed to keep the mill operating and allow the mill staff the time to make production adjustments.
On Wednesday, the production tests resulted in high Mo concentrations and lowering copper percentages. The goal is to generate a concentrate that meets specifications for sale (50% Mo or higher) and can be dried, bagged and shipped, at the same time protocols for control, monitoring and testing are established throughout the production cycle. Fine tuning of the milling equipment and numerous small adjustments continue, as the staff builds its learning curve.
