Ann: Provisional Patent Lodged Vanadium Recovery Process, page-36

Certainly not upset at all Sasha and appreciate your past views on a previous project. In fact welcome debate whether it's about the company or management or macro for that matter. But you have to respect that it's OK to be able to question your views and past experiences and comment on possible other factors that may have also affected that project.
I don't doubt at all you have been left flat with Mt Peake. But my question still remains, what would someone else have done different when trying to get a mine to production?

As to your comment about the cheaper mining process which you say turned out to be a lie, well I haven't researched enough about that to make a comment on. I don't even know if it's the same metallurgy process as what SRN are doing now. I believe this process is new and unique as to the pre treatment in combination, but maybe you could comment on that, whether it's the exact same or if indeed it hasn't been done before?

Now I'm guessing you and others have been down this process before, but so far they have proved the process works in the lab test results which they have now commissioned METS to produce test work plans for the proprietary leach process to beapplied to a much larger sample of between 250kg and 500kg weight. So it all sounds like they are going about this carefully and thoroughly before maybe pilot plant stage, and have no reason to believe at this stage that they are not doing what they say they are doing. I don't see any porkies here.

Also why would they be spending all this money and draining their precious capital (that also pays their wages) on taking this further and proving this process up for commercial scale if they knew there wasn't a good chance of it being achievable. That certainly wouldn't make any sense to me.
