	Interview with John T. Catchpole, Avocet Mining PLC: TWST
		Catchpole: In Penjom, one of the issues that came up over four years ago was that the mine encountered some very difficult metallurgical problems.
		The ore turned out to be carbonaceous and for the type of processing method that is employed this caused recoveries to drop from around normal levels of around 90% down to as low as 50%.
		Catchpole: Well I think there’s a perception of certain areas out there as being quite high risk from a political perspective, Indonesia being one case in point.

		Among the complainants is an elderly Purley woman who said she would never have allowed a routine procedure to go ahead had she known the risks involved.
		Irene Catchpole, 89, was left needing major surgery and a colostomy bag after a doctor perforated her bowel while investigating her illness last November.
		Mrs Catchpole, who lives on her own in a top-floor flat on the Brighton Road, claims she was not told there was a chance the procedure could go wrong, and only consented because she thought it would not lead to surgery.

		During the operation, Seventh Air Force aircraft operating from newly acquired bases in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands neutralize airfields in the Marianas and continue to pound by-passed airfields in the Marshalls.
		MEDITERRANEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS (MTO) STRATEGIC OPERATIONS (Fifteenth Air Force): In France, B-17s bomb Antheor viaduct and Toulon harbor; B-24s are forced by bad weather to return bombs to base; many of the B-17s returning from the Toulon raid are forced to land at various friendly fields because of unsafe flying conditions.
		TACTICAL OPERATIONS (Ninth Air Force): Most of the 139 B-26s dispatched to attack NOBALL (V-weapon) targets in N France are recalled because of bad weather; 35 manage to bomb the marshalling yard at Amiens.

	Enewetak
		When the Gilberts[?] fell to the US, the Japanese Army's 1st Amphibious Brigade[?] came in to defend the atoll, January 4, 1944.
		They were unable to finish fortifying the place before the February launch of Operation Catchpole[?] by the US, which captured all the islets in a week.
		After the war, the residents were evacuated, often involuntarily, and the atoll was used for atomic bomb testing.

		Throughout her World War II service, Mercury operated in the Pacific, beginning with long runs from the west coast to the South Pacific and ending with underway replenishments for the fast carrier forces.
		Two weeks later, with Army assault units and combat cargo, she sailed with TG 51.1, the reserve force for operation “Flintlock.” Arriving in Kwajalein lagoon 2 February, she remained anchored there, with her passengers and cargo uncommitted, until 15 February, when the island hopping pace was stepped up.
		In 1950 she began operating with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean as the on‑station fleet issue ship with Underway Support Group, alternating tours in that role with Altair (AKS‑32).

		Operation Catchpole is launched as American troops devastate the Japanese defenders of Eniwetok and take control of the atoll in the northwestern part of the Marshall Islands.
		The position on Eniwetok gave U.S. forces a base of operations to finally capture the entirety of the Marianas.
		Eniwetok was also useful to the United States after the war--in 1952 it became the testing ground for the first hydrogen bomb.

		Decision as to the Plan to be executed, and my Operation Plan, will be promulgated at a later date.
		Some portions of some of these plans are available elsewhere, such as in the US Army official volumes, but this is a splendid compilation of so many, and such complete, planning documents.
		It might have been improved by a bit more commentary from Ross—for example, by how much did given operations diverge from the original planning (the "Victory Plan" would be a classic case), and what lessons did planners learn for future operationss?—but that is apparently beyond Ross' intended scope.

		The results of that 30 m³ per hour operation were very positive and the data from that test will also be used in the feasibility study.
		It is planned that the Inkai joint venture will use a sulphuric acid based leach solution for the commercial operation, which is the same type of leach solution used at the other three operating ISL mines in Kazakstan.

	5AT Advanced Steam Locomotive Introduction
		Catchpole dedicated a second editorial to the subject, this time challenging people to come forward to take on the project.
		The article concluded with a response to David Wardale's 5AT proposals in which he criticized several aspects of the proposed design - in particular the choice of a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement because of the necessity to use a narrow firebox and because of the poor ride quality that might be expected.
		Malcolm Cluett drew attention to the successful operation of modernized R class steam locomotives operating regular trains for West Coast Rail in Australia and suggested that a 5AT locomotive would provide the solution to the problems of running steam on the main line in the future.

		The next target on Nimitz's island hopping target was the Marshalls, and he took hardly a break from the previous engagements at the Gilberts before he launched the operation against the Japanese-held Marshall Islands.
		Without the ability to send his fleets to the area (his carrier planes were taken away from him for land bases), all he could do was sending out submarines as forward observers, and shifted the men around the Marshalls as he saw fit.
		The entire operation was covered in the sky by Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher's planes from six fleet carriers and six light carriers (Mitscher's group also included eight battleships and a full compliment of cruisers and destroyers, a fact not to be ignored).
