To All:

Since the analyses were done by the "roll bottle cyanide" method, I guess it is legit to multiply 17.75 MMoz. by 1.12 (i.e. 12% increase) to give 19.88 MM oz. or ~20 MM oz. after rounding off. So assuming this is acceptable and the price of gold at current levels to be ~US$340/oz. and the cost of extracting 1 oz. gold to be ~US$200 (because payolas also have to be paid out!) the price per share works out to be about

US$[20 x (340-200)x (1,000,000)]/[218 x (1,000,000)]

i.e.~ US$12.8 per share or ~C$17.7 per share. If the lower figure of 17.7 MM oz. is used, the share price works out to be ~C$15.7. If my calculations are legit, tis not too bad for very early or recent buyers afterall, is it?

I am probably naive in my assumptions. So please give me your comments.
