Waiken, thanks very much for the back of envelope calculations, I thought it was a good ann but wasn't game to start posting on its potential given my amatuer status in reading data.

Agree re the Germanium and Yerrington scenarios you paint, have been following the developments on the technical side that involve germanium, nano-technology, solar cell technology and semi-conductor applications generally, and this is pointing directly to a massive increase in demand.

All good news, with the only real risk (apart from the standard ones getting something from ground to production) is that the current price of Germanium may actually be too high i.e. unless you can get some clear supply happening quickly at a realistic level and price, the techno bots might be asked to go look for something other than Germanium to do the same job, cheaper.

Fingers crossed (still crossed).
