Thanks for contacting Bob bb521. Good job. I don't have his cell #.
There was one other possible reason for the delay-as you note-getting equipment through customs. Though I didn't think there would be much problem there.
The last reported contact w Bob prior to your call indicated the crusher should have arrived by last Teusday at the CWRN site by my calculations after passing through customs at the U.S/Mexico border crossing of Tecate. The post re that equipment was probably 2 1/2 weeks ago.

I didn't see a crusher in the pictures. Prior to taking it to Tecate the crusher was reported at Long Beach,Ca(de facto suburb of LA,where people have oil wells in their small front yards and the air is so thick with oil you don't know how people live there),which could mean it came from there or was brought in by ship to Long Beach-a major port.

Nowadays you sometimes have to get a recreational boat inspected before launching it in the local lakes to make sure it isn't carrying noxious or invasive weeds or crustaceans etc. So I suppose this problem could be multiplied at an international border,though I wouldn't think that would cause much delay unless such noxious species were found.

They reportedly already have hydraulic hammer on site which they were going to use to break up the loose 80000 tons iron floats in prep for the crusher and the website indicates they plan on using a magnetic separator. What other equipment do they need that is not already on site?

The very fact Bob is still expecting shipments soon should indicate he doesn't see any insurmountable problems.
All that should remain is getting last equipment on site,paying production permits and any bonds(re damage to neighbors property,but that shouldn't be a problem,especially as surrounding property apparently is similar uninhabited mining concessions,as the entire backbone of that part of Baja seems to be in mining concessions),and lining up ship transport,which they've presumably done or are working on.


Thanks for the report. I've been holding for over a year, so one week won't matter that much in the big scheme of things.
