Yes, the PRs often confuse as much as they inform. First - there is only one pad as far as i know and when they talk about Pad 2 it's just another part of the one pad - and it's large enough so they can load and leach different sections for "continuous leaching" They do have to move the emitters or leach system piping so that takes men on foot in the hot sun atop a pile of hot rock. Sounds like all hand labor to move the leach system. . Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

There was an inital leach and we got the images of some very meager metal recovery from low grade ore. I think the output was so low they didn't provide any numbers. The ore under leach now should produce a better showing and i don't want to mention any numbers since it just sets us and the CEO up for disappointment Someone can say they expect ZZZ ounces and we only get YY or ZZ ounces. Price drops. Let's just wait it out. .

The numbers they're giving for ore loading have to increase and that may mean more or larger haul trucks, larger crew, long work week and none of that can happen till there is cash flow. We have Volvo articulated haul trucks and I think only two of them, probably a small crew at present - we don't know the size and this is starting out on a pretty small scale - that's the nature of a go-it-alone boot strapping. If this works it will be quite a story.
