Subject: Re: Questions for 5/10/04 conference call

Greetings Mr. Douglas,

I've read the two Friday night press releases and I have several questions as a result:

How many ounces of the hedge were reduced in 1st Q 04?

3,750 ounces

How much of Kemess North construction costs can be paid from cash flow? It appears to me that the estimated $64 million for 2005 could be handled and still allow funds for exploration.

Depends on prices over the next 18 months. At current prices I would expect at least 50 million would be covered. Remember we have larger payments on our project loans in 2005/06.

If those 39.7 million outstanding warrants were exercised before expiration that would take care of the balance of the construction costs. Is it possible for me to learn of any large holders of those warrants? I've been using 240 million shares in my models for 2005 and beyond anyway, since I expect those warrants to be in the money. But it would be useful to know if management intends to issue shares during 2005-2006 over and above those outstanding warrants.

Sadly, I do not believe those warrants will be exercised until the very last minute as there is no economic reason to do so that I am aware of.
