In the old mining days the processing took longer, was less refined, and many of the other elements were left behind either for no sufficient market value or no usage. Technology today not only provides for higher more efficient processing and returns but also there are so many new uses and markets that have developed.
These other minerals that the assays are showing are super icing on the cake. Every run of material is so much more valuable than in the days of old.
It is like adding extra value per ounce of gold. But why I bought more at 13 and will grab some at 12 if I can ... not mainly because of technology, rather because of the human capital. Jerod is the key. He has what it takes. A been there done that kind of guy who knows business and knows mining. He is the real rare gem in the formula. We have two shaker tables that will be used in the processing of the crushed ore. No, we have three, Jared the mover and shaker extraordinaire.
