Aye, there's the rub. In that Whitney's "process" has yet to prove it is effective with untreated ore, so too is the Mexus problem of proving it has a resource that is economically feasible to mine. That is what the recent drilling program was all about, to prove there is something worthwhile there. Thus far, the drilling results are far from compelling. So you see, the ITRO/MXSG coupling is just another diversion intended to divert attention from a failed mining effort.
In other words, the mining effort thus far is a "waist".
