>>Also for this 140K oz marginal mine, Inmet's market cap is $60 million...where's the leverage in that ?

Would you please explain ? IMN has a market capitalisation of C$76 million (@ today's C$2.35)**. Its working capital is C$93million. The market apparently ascribes little value to the Troilus gold mine; where do you find the market capitalisation of $60 million for this mine?

But you are correct; my original memo did not take into account forward sales, and forward sales certainly reduce "leverage" both up and down. Are forward sales @ $340 an asset or a liability for this marginal mine ? (Incidentally, the annual report indicates that the reference to "calls" refers to calls PURCHASED.)

**This market capitalisation ignores long term debt and liabilities such as reclamation
