Hello Phillip and (gotta love that handle) ogod.

Very good posts. Thank you.

A few thoughts:

1. I doubt we will see a "positve earnings surprise" from Q3. M1 grade declining and too early to assess expanded Marsfontein resource to permit longer amortization of Randgold payment. That said , I think (hope) latter will be determined by year-end , thereby permitting restatement of Q2/Q3 earnings.

2 "new management/positive earnings surprise". The signals are out there that CJ wants to shed some of the Presidential burden and refocus on exploration. IOW , I would not be surprised if a new Prez (CJ would stay on as Chairman) appeared soon. Messina looks better and better - it will close in November - production ramped up from 60K to 80K tpm , PGM prices moving increasingly higher.

3. Y2000 will see much lower EPS - too early to tell Phillip but .23 looks low (but not ridiculously low).

4. In sum , my guess is that the bankable will prove Messina as a 25 - year mine life at 60-80 cents EPS for SUF.

The real question is whether in these day-trading days the market will leap to Messina or wait it out. I guess we'll soon see.

Regards and a good weekend to All.
