Last year at this time, the Company was still in the exploration phase and focused on drilling. Since then, we’ve raised capital, implemented a business plan and affected that plan on the ground. Today we are already through to Phase I – Pilot Plant Operations. The project is really unrecognizable from one year ago and I give my compliments to our team and to the Company’s management for moving this project forward so expeditiously.
