If Jim Puplava (who's not a geologist), on yesterday’s FSN, was saying there’s an arsenic problem at Tyhee, then he’d be disagreeing with Dr. David R. Webb, who is a geologist.

Dave told me today that, to date, studies at Ormsby show no significant metallurgical and environmental arsenic issues. However, while Nicholas Lake contains significant arsenic, its ore is not refractory and needs no roasting, autoclaving, or oxidizing of its high arsenic feed.

Since Nicholas Lake has a comparatively small deposit compared to Ormsby, then its dilution by Ormsby’s ore will ameliorate any arsenical issues.

Clan Lake and Goodwin Lake are very low in arsenic, similar to Ormsby.

Que tenga buen dia, hasta luego,
