If you don't buy the SOP "hype" and think the only viable process is the Mannheim process, I suggest you give the following a read: www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com/?ACT=18&ID=13667 http://www.edisoninvestmentresearch.com/?ACT=18&ID=13667 It's about South Boulder Mines in neighboring Eritria. Significant is the section entitled "Geology reduces capex and possibly operating costs" ertwo said: I don't buy this SOP hype. I think it is Farhad's "smoke and mirror" move. Sop is commercially produced by Manaheim process. That is not feasible at Allana site. All other methods are only R&D which may or may not lead to commercial process. I do not see how the PEA can possibly increase the share price here. IMHO
