Wayne, this is NOT an assessment of IWA's future, however, the comment you made regarding a comparison between IWA and Royal Oak is actually not that relevant. What matters is the cost of production per oz. as compared to the POG, NOT so much the bulk resource you have in the ground. I could have 20M oz. but if it is .04 oz. per ton with almost no high grade and my cost of production is $275 per oz. then I am likely not to be able to afford to produce. On the other hand a smaller deposit, say 1M oz., with higher grades and lower costs may very well still be a viable business in today's gold climate.

These numbers are meant strictly to get my point across and are not meant to be the true quantitative representation of the 2 companies being discussed.

Salut,
Leigh McBain
