Dave, thanks. Fill us in some more, where do Avalon, Grayd and Foran stand in regards to mine development. Do they have mills on site? Are they underground. Thank you.

Geoff, thanks. Sending concentrate to outside smelter incurs costs of something like 50-60c a lb, right? If I'm on right track, INCO should be able to process at their own smelter for 40c a lb. As the cost to INCO of smelting at Sudbury is not zero, and as shipping costs are say 5% of contained value, what is really behind the smelter argument?

Is that not enough ore left in Sudbury/Thompson to support the Sudbury smelter if VB ore not shipped there? Is VB smaller than people think?

Thanks in advance.
