PSGR....What the heck is sonification? MY OPINION...A few weeks have passed since Pershing Resources issued a Press Release (PR). Mentioned within the PR is a process (sonification) that is to be used. No where within the PR is the sonification process defined nor is information provided with respect to its history, reliability or its efficiency. The PR text indicated that the sonification process was to be used on very small test ore batches at the pilot plant located near Kingman, AZ. Without first hand knowledge (actually seeing the operation of the testing at the pilot plant) I must PRESUME that the sonification process that is undergoing testing is an ULTRA SOUND technique used to separate (break down) solid masses....for those who have had kidney stones, you will understand the technique of 'breaking down' the stones. Ultrasound is limited (distance) in its ability to provide an extensive operational parameter....the sound waves have a finite distance of efficiency AND the wavelength must be 'tailored/dialed in to' the mass that is to be broken down. I can understand how the sonification usage can be used on a small scale scale to effectively separate precious metal from 'hard rock' or other masses but Pershing Resources will have to clarify how a large production circuit would effectively employ the sonification technique. I will follow the previous sentence by stating a big IF....IF the precious metal's INITIAL concentration is exceptionally high when first introduced into the circuit (here 'circuit' refers to the mechanical equipment used in the crushing and separation of the ore), sonification could further separate the precious metals from the remaining ore mass...ideally removing microscopic sized precious metal particulate. Again, Pershing Resources needs to provide greater clarification of the actual process that is to be used in the pilot plant and the future production plant. The CAVEAT that jumps out at me is IF a nanotechnology is suggested as the preferred method of extraction. Yes, there are some nanotechnologies that effectively remove specific particulate BUT nanotechnology by definition is for extremely small particulate....sub micron approaching Angstrom sized matter. NOT an efficient method for precious metals production that provides a sizeable and profitable return on investment. The investor will have to wait for a more definitive explanation from Pershing Resources. The Pershing Resources website indicates they want feedback from interested parties. Now is a good time to start the dialogs. PATIENCE
