exerpt from mike joseph article

I am more an HC VTI watcher (and long-term holder) than a participant. Read it warts & all. Love & really appreciate some of the info you posters dig up. However I haven't seen anyone mention this little one from the Centre-Daily Times. on Friday 22nd.

"Also Thursday, Penn State geologist Duff Gold said he and Penn State geochemist Hu Barnes have embarked on a substantial test of Bauxsol and two other acid-rock cleanup agents -- magnesium hydroxide and powdered limestone -- to make a cost-benefit comparison.

Bauxsol, a derivative of the aluminum manufacturing industry marketed by the Australian company Virotec, is being prepared for a million-dollar pilot test at Skytop to gauge its effectiveness in counteracting pyrite. The first Bauxsol-water mixtures are scheduled to be injected into a pyritic fill area on Aug. 15.

Bauxsol is more expensive than either magnesium hydroxide or powdered limestone, Penn State geologists have said."

Dunno what it means, but I assume this is opposition to the Aussie upstarts breaking into the presumptive & cosy, but inneffective lime treatments applied to date by vested interests.
