Bill, I think it's safe to assume that Barrick approved the last resource calculation (which we all felt to be conservative) In so doing it would seem that they also approved the set of assumptions that went into that estimate. Now they seem to be balking. Indicating to me that the concern is either over the newly added drill indicated resource or the previous assumptions or both. If the objection deals with only the new drill results the effect would seem to be minimal. If they are taking issue with the basic assumptions that went into the previous calculations it would seem that the net effect could be big time.

It calls to mind Rick T's correspondence with Barrick last year... wherein they indicated 800,000 oz au which then stood in distinct contradiction to PFG's 250,000. Maybe they're pushing for bigger numbers; since, if PFG's estimates are correct its hard to see why Barrick is delaying in pulling the plug.

Regards, Dave

PS: is it possible that different groups at Barrick are involved on this second go-round and are demanding that the deposit be viewed differently than the 1st time? Especially with regard to public communications?
