The main info people at the SHM last year wanted was the grades of the ore being milled. PQ said flatly that we wouldn't get that. He did, however, say the mill was runnng at 40-70 tpd- half of what had recently been PRed (125-140).

Frankly, there weren't many hardball questions last year, because there weren't as many questions (IMO) on people's minds. They mostly wanted to see that the operation was real, and as I said, the big question was the grades of the ore.

The ore samples were from the piles at the Sinker and Oso sites, as well as from piles in Silver City. We weren't allowed into the Sinker for obvious safety reasons.
