Thanks darrylc - I think CTM is like an Atomic/Nuclear chain reaction - (from Brittanica Encyclopedia) - A chemical chain reaction proceeds by a sequence generally subdivided into three stages: (1) Initiation, in which a reactive intermediate, which may be an atom, an ion, or a neutral molecular fragment, is formed, usually through the action of an agent such as light, heat, or a catalyst. (2) Propagation, whereby the intermediate reacts with the original reactants, producing stable products and another intermediate, whether of the same or different kind; the new intermediate reacts as before, so a repetitive cycle begins. (3) Termination, which may be natural, as when all the reactants have been consumed or the containing vessel causes the chain carriers to recombine as fast as they are formed, but more often is induced intentionally by introduction of substances called inhibitors or antioxidants. OR A nuclear fission reaction takes place when the atoms of an unstable element are bombarded with neutrons, splitting the nucleus of each atom into smaller parts. If the split of each nucleus releases several high-speed neutrons that can then split more of the element's nuclei, a chain reaction takes place. AND (Chain Reaction)

1. a chemical reaction or other process in which the products themselves promote or spread the reaction.

   • the self-sustaining fission reaction spread by neutrons which occurs in nuclear reactors and bombs.
   • a series of events, each caused by the previous one.

     "the wine provoked a chain reaction of memories"

We have 1. The initiation - we have the amazing tenements in Brazil - the potential gold, copper, nickel, cobalt and the realised iron ore reserves; we just now await the CATALYST - the mining permit to really start the CHAIN REACTION..........I flippin can't wait for the radioactive fallout! GLTAH!
