Good post. Your insight not only helps me understand the process, but should help others. I will try to help when it comes to production, as my area of expertise is in the area of manufacturing, the crushing and milling process. I have spent numerous hrs. on the repair and preventative maintainance of very large rock crushing and processing equipment used in open mining such as rock quarries. From conveyors to crushers to ball and rod mills through the drying process in a kiln. Finances and NI 43-101 reports of resources are another subject that I leave up to all the others with knowledge in those areas. Once again thanks for the input. This board is getting better and better as time passes, and maybe some new faces will come aboard now and share their knowledge/opinions. koala
