It is important to remember that the success of their venture will depend entirely on their ability to achieve gold recovery efficiencies suficient to pay the cost of mining/refining and site recovery. The only independent estimates available so far, the Bateman data, do not indicate economic yields. IGCO believes they can achieve higher yields than those accomplished in the conservative Bateman assays, but have not yet shown they can. There is no real doubt that the gold is in the ground. The issue is whether realizing the gold is economically viable. We are betting that IGCO will be able to accomplish that technical challenge. The stock price reflects the substantial uncertainly that economic recovery will be possible.
The drilling data everyone is waiting for will not tell the tale; the important data is the demonstration IGCO's refining technology will permit economic yields from their ore deposits.
