Hog; If we did, we (the grunts) did not know about it. That being said, we did not process it the total way as a lot of companys do on location. When I worked in Thompson Manitoba for Inco Nickle, in 1967, (quit school between grade 11 & 12 but went back to school cuz I realized I would starve to death without education) we did a leaching process, to further refine and separate metals to a purer state. Did not do the electrolplating process at Brenda. Bulk shipped the semi-pure ore to Europe and I suspect they processed it further there. Rinky
