Well, its good to know I've been of some constructive effect. Thanks for that. My beef is that I seem to have some yahoo who never misses an opp to be snide or contemptuous about whetever I post. I tell some guy to go to some web site and listen to a program. I tell him why. I recommend a book that is somehere in my house that was useful to me, but I get characterized as lacking for not having looked the links up and done all the homework for him.

I helped with some advice but deliberately left a lot of the work to be done. Kind of like a coach who was making the pupil step up to the plate. The old adage of teaching to fish or just supplying fish. My notion is that, all too often, guys will get their panties in a wad if they have to do any DD for themselves, and I'm not the least bit interested in doing other men's work. And in this case, I wanted to see the character of the person I was helping. I learned, LOL.

That said, I wanted to ask you something about RAPT.

You mentioned in former posts that you are an experienced mining guy, with property in Oregon.

Do you think that the RAPT process is only usable with rock that is different than the rock at the site I keep asking about, SFMI?

I'm not a mining guy. I write software to autotrade. I generate black box trading solutions for people who will pay for them. And I trade accordingly for my own family. But as for mining chemistry, I'm not proficient.

So ,in that regard, I'd like to learn that there is more value that can be gotten out of the rock that is being ground up by SFMI, but I gather from the totality of your posts on the chemistry that the process RAPT uses is probably not usable when the precious mineralization is in the kind of rock being ground up at SFMI.

Thats my conclusion from the net of what you have posted.

Am I correct in my conclusions or am I misunderstanding what you have said previously?

TIA

HW

well in to the terms of service violation with the personal attacks,

I have been appropriately Ihubbed when I got off base (usually trying to "talk" with similar "only source of knowledge on the planet types")

our fellow poster has some interesting contributions but then chooses not to support with links to what is a pretty reasonable question - would have taken less time than his attack to have googled or amazoned and sent back a response, sounds pretty bitter guy - not an attack just sympathy for a troubled soul

I also enjoy the exchange of info from the wide range of experiences that the various posters have. Whaz posts excellent technical stuff that I don't know hardly anything about. Wanted to learn more. Thus my request for a good educational starting point. Wasn't asking him to lead me by the hand just a starting point. Just like HW has a depth of practical experience in mining ... but in that case experience that I will never have.

Clearly I struck a nerve with Whaz when I expressed surprise over his "do the work yourself" response over the title of the book he referred to. I simply did not want to buy 5 books and then try to figure out which one he was referring to. So once again Whaz, terribly sorry to have offended you with an off hand but obviously to you insensitive "I concur" with another poster. Wasn't intended to PYO but I guess I can understand your reaction.

My sincerest apologies.
