Jim,

I'm curious how and where the ore will be processed. I found the following site to be interesting:

http://www.tanb.org/niobium1.html
http://www.tanb.org/tantalum1.html

Do you think the company will set up its own physical processing (aluminothermic reduction process, electric arc furnace, electron beam refining ) locally and then send the concentrates out for chemical processing to separate any tantalum and REEs? Seems as though based on the size of the resource that local physical processing would make sense. What's your take? Thanks.
