Thanks Goldman,

I don't think that response posted in the Calgary Sun is sufficient.

I believe they should issue an official news release explaining why they believe each accusation is unjust.

I thought the NM mentioned that this wasn't waste rock:

"The video, obtained by The Northern Miner, was shot by a mining analyst on
a visit to the property in June 1996. It shows a tour of Bre-X's sample
preparation facility, in which site manager and metallurgist Jerome Alo
describes the sequence of steps in Bre-X's sample preparation. Alo shows
the visitors the project's jaw crusher, hammer mill and grinder, all of
which are used to crush and pulverize rock. He goes on to show the lab's
rotary and riffle splitters -- two devices used in assay labs to divide out
representative portions of crushed or ground samples. At the end of the
visit to the sample preparation lab, Alo displays a labelled sample bag
ready for shipment to IAL. It contains about 2 kg of drill core ground to
200-mesh -- that is, the pulverized rock would pass through the 74-micron
(0.074-mm) openings of a 200-mesh particle sieve.

The bag Alo displays on the video bears the number BSSE-75/07065,
signifying that it came from borehole BSSE-75 -- a hole near the middle of
section line SEZ-54. A table of results issued by Bre-X in January 1996
showed hole BSSE-75
grading 2.26 grams gold per tonne from 53 to 64 metres downhole, and 2.34
grams per tonne from 123 to 442 metres
downhole. The second interval included a 40-metre intersection grading 3.99
grams."

And also how about the issue of the sampling problems?

Thanks,

Essam.
