Hello Elizabeth,

You've done some "good work" in your analysis of PDL.

I did notice however that you refer to a NSR (net smelter return). My research has led me believe the company does pay a 3% net profit interest (scheduled to go to 5% late this year).

BIG, BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

Net profit is after ALL possible costs and expenses even taxes are taken out. Net smelter is MUCH more valuable/costly. It was explained to me a NSR is almost as good as 10 times the percentage (ie 1% NSR is almost as good as a 10% share in the claim).

According to the 1998 Annual Report that I have read PDL DOES NOT pay a Net Smelter but does pay a Net Profit.

Did you see SWC take off today? IMHO we will do very, very well in PDL as I believe the Russian cupboard is bare.
