I didn't say JBL would buy out the mining applications. I said JBL would attempt to buy out both companies simultaneously but didn't bother stating that they can get the eWaste poortion and leave the mining biz as a stub share for ETI and MWX investors to work up. That concept is straightforward and doesn't need to be detailed every time i post since JBL is just in the eWaste biz now. Definitely the chemical is required for the process to work and likely the crushing into a talc powder consistency can only be done by MWX too although that is not clear from any of the public info that anyone has ever posted about. An investor has to assume MWX is also an integral part of the operation since JBL and ETI chose to work with it. Therefore there is no evidence to suggest JBL would restrict their buyout to the ETI chemical.
If the process was proven today then JBL would announce it to their shareholders. Why do you claim the opposite, that JBL is keeping it secret because it works?
