The company has estimated capital costs to get Kemess North up and running as follows:

2005 $53 mil US
2006 $73 mil US

According to the 2002 annual report 38,182,338 of those warrants don't expire until 12/28/06. If they were all exercised I believe the company could accomplish the startup of Kemess North from the proceeds and cash flow. It's interesting that Mr. Douglas didn't mention the warrants in his e-mail reply.

As to whether the dilution of almost 40 million more shares is already built into the stock price I don't have a ready opinion. Since the company just turned profitable in 3Q 03 their trailing 12 month EBITDA, P/E, and cash flow numbers are much lower than they will be in a couple more quarters. Earnings estimates for 2004 range from .08 to .22, so there seems to be a lack of consensus even though management has shown they can estimate production quite well.
