Customer The prospective customer is
shown the test results and if they are interested in purchasing the material, a
stockpile may be built if necessary. 4

the Sales Representatives discretion, where our company is responsible for
stocking operations on the site. Some sites already have
stockpiles produced by the site operators for which our representative is
responsible for assuring its quality before dispatch to our customers. 5

initial evaluation will receive a trial load of such size to be considered as
representative of the material supplied with respects to their own production
