"The Company plan is to develop an environmentally benign process for a high purity (benign) deposit. Given the feedback from potential strategic partners in the CleanTech sector, this is a critical consideration."

......and I think a good and responsible one. At the same time I can't help but say........really?????? What will they want next.....and then after that? How long will they stretch this thing out. As well as a good thing I can't help but feel it serves other purposes too. Call me paranoid, but other companies out there are making good cash on their find right? Why suddenly does Zen have to be the uber company whose processing actually yields 110%purity, unpollutes the great lakes, fixes the ozone problem and makes eating lots of fatty foods a healthy thing? :)

Doesn't asking for these extras also buy more time for shenanigans? While Zen tries to accomodate I don't suspect any time is being lost in strategic positioning of certain entities.
