<< Doesthis mean we have to wait until NEXT YEAR (2011) to see the nextRESOURCE/RESERVE update?>>

When I read that, I was assuming that it would be 2011. It doesn't mean too much to me. I get the impression that there is enough for another 10 years of mining. The mine life is not an issue; it's the cash cost.

I'm holding patiently knowing that it will take a while before the UG bolting techniques make a big difference. Here is how I see things going forward:

1) "A cable bolting truck is scheduled to be transported to Bjorkdal during mid-May"

2) "Processing of the ore from the bolted 838 stope will likely take place in early June."

3) Step 2 will "form the basis for more test work and adjustments to drill patterns, bolting patterns and blasting sequences." That bring us to July & August.

4) THEN, once the technique has been proven, only then will it BEGIN to be rolled out to all veins. So maybe September & October the ramp up starts, and early 2011 it will be fully implemented.
