Scott:

The emphasis on my statement was on the AVERAGE grade of gold in North America which is around .2 ozs.Au/ton. Existing mines can profitably extract gold at that range using standard methods. Many of the mines that are non-profitable at the moment are those that have grades below .06 ozs. Au/ton. Cost of infrastructure and development are always big dollar items in building any mine, hence my reference to the location and ease of access to Franklin Lake. I do not have any recovery numbers yet; Naxos wants to see the report from South Africa. In the mean time Naxos will be embarking on a large drill program to show inferred resources over a small area of the playa, which should begin to build the composite picture of gold at Franklin Lake.

Regards,

Kim W.
