Eye, let me comment on this because I think most shareholders might have a slight mis-understanding on what is going on down there right now.
Everyone knows they announced "production" or whatever one wants to call it a couple of months ago. The ultimate goal is consistant, full production of approx 100 daily tons of high grade con and then at sometime in the future adding SX-EX. However, as I understand it, RIGHT NOW the priority is NOT neccesarily production of significant con... its the dialing, tweeking, priming etc etc of the PROCESS / MILL so we can get to the ultimate goal. Yes, con is being produced, but we are starting, stopping, changing, reacting, analysing, testing and basically prefecting the PROCESS. This takes months (in some mills it takes 6 months) Thats whats happening now. If you have 50 things to change or tweek you have to do them one at a time, see what the results are, so you know what it is that works and then move to another. That being said, we are very, very close to the ultimate goal... the experts running the mill are extremely pleased w where we are. I hope people understand what I'm saying.
