I think you are coming closer to reality TP. There is much more to this than the regular metals so it becomes more difficult to figure. Besides, you guys are stuck on $10,000. It once was $8,500. What will the PEA use? I figure it will be closer to $20,000. After all, most of the testing has been with the objective to compete with synthetic. Nothing has indicated in any way they are not being successful in this objective.

I do not for one moment think that AE will part with this by giving someone a bargain deal. He'll get his price or do it himself his way. By what he has said, he would step aside and hire compitent people to do it. He has already assembled quite a group and seems well on the road in this direction. AE has already said several times, everything is on the table. I think he means it. This says to me there are too many possibilities ahead. Whatever, this is going to be very interesting, and very soon.
