8... we had been told earlier it was a zinc problem....now you are saying garcia and lemas say it was a problem of too much added salt. perhaps I’m mixing up 2 entirely different parts of the process but it is confusing for those like me who know little about the real mechanics of gold production/chemistry. Really unclear how all this happened but you make it sound like the problem is solvable, which I know we all hope is the case.

For now, can you answer any of the following re Sta Elena...?

At what point in the process would salt contamination happen?

Are the existing leach pad(s) ok or are they now useless due to this contamination? What about the Au in the pond? Can that be recovered?

How much Au do you think is in pond btw? (A while back we were told 2-4000 ozs! ). Is it recoverable?

What is your best guess re when Sta Elena can begin to ramp up consistent production? And how much gold do you expect to be produced by when?

I know pt is focussing elsewhere now but...do you think he is "giving up" on elena? am getting sense that contractually it is marmar's to operate, but that is very different from no longer believing in the property. do you have a sense what pt's thinking is re this?

Have many more questions but will leave it at this for now. I know they involve some wild-ass guessing, but I think many would be curious to hear your take…(as well as anyone else’s who might have some real sense of all this)…

with thanks in advance for thoughts you are willing to share….
