Iambrok: They did not have to do it this way. With any experienced mining management, they would have collected the ore and retained a mining engineer to develop a processing system. There are many qualified people to do this but looks like they went out on their own and constructed two different mills, and after two years decided that this was not the right process? Part of the original "selling process" to locals was that this would not use chemicals in the processing. Maybe that is why they have done it this way, get in so far that you cannot back out?? There is only one reason to do the drilling and ore definition and that is to attract financing, either with major mining companies or stock offering. If they are really sure that the silver and gold exist, then the existing Big Boys that they claim to have on board could just put up the money, BUT? don't see the money yet. The whole system, milling, gravity, floatation,and leaching is probably what is necessary to recover the silver and gold, but we have never seen a feasibility study with all the chemistry of the ore defined, with estimated recovery rates. Typically this type of information is developed before they start construction of a processing plant. Geomine.
