Q&A highlights
Q: What are the estimations of material on the ground at the Alaska plains? And what is the amount of raw tons of material needed to make 1 ton of antimony?
A: Looking at high grade antimony, some in 60-70% range; truckload of 20 tons with 50% antimony worth $0.5 million. Internationally bought antimony is not as high grade as hoped.
Q: We're going to do maybe two more, and then we'll be done. It's been a good bit of time.
A: (No specific question directly answered here as per transcript, but closing remarks made about fast track to $1 billion company and excitement about progress.)
