Guy Saco: "Unfortunately, no one directs(?) raw ore PGM metals. That's why we're taking and trying to extrapolate fine metal recovery to raw ore recovery. And it's been a rather tedious and frustrating process."



From what's being said, they are using small scale refining techniques to experiment and see if they can separate / precipitate out individual PGM metals from solutions derived from dissolving raw ores.

Excuse my harshness, but I fail to see where the "breakthrough" is, as stated in the video description. There's a reason why refining techniques like this aren't done for raw ores especially containing PGM metals. Its unscalable. Given the undefined scope of the PGM resource at this stage, it must be explored and declared large enough first to justify investment in a dedicated processing pipeline or facility. These guys are grasping at straws by feeling forced to do this at this stage before exploration is completed. At the very least, they need help. This is the kind of stuff people try in their garage often without success. While much easier for gold and silver, refining PGM's is a whole other ball game, and doing it from raw ores compounds the difficulty. Guy Saco couldn't even find a comparable to study. To offer a relatable example, Sreetips on Youtube, with his decades of experience in refining, couldn't even economically precipitate and refine PGM's confidently with his setup using techniques like this.

Where are the real deal solutions? Where are the proposals for long term feasibility for processing PGM's? Will the scope of the deposit justify the uphill battle posed to metallurgy?

The real question from me: Where is Mike Irish, B.S., M.S. Metallurgical Engineering, P.E. Environmental, Q.P., Chief Scientific Officer of Sidney Resources? Why are the geologists on site tasked with coming up with metallurgical extraction solutions, let alone updating investors on the nature of the problem, when we have someone as qualified as the company's CSO, an expert metallurgist, to speak on this subject instead? Why hasn't Mike Irish allowed himself to be quoted at all thusfar, let alone on this subject of processing PGM's?
