Thanks, Elizabeth. I imagine they'll be aiming for higher values in the spring drilling. But you've provided some good parameters for discussion.

Thanks again,
Chick in NC

What do you calculate this to be worth?

These assay results for Copper and Nickel correlate well with nearby results obtained by Inco during the 1950's. The Palladium, Platinum and Cobalt were not previously reported by Inco.

Elizabeth, I don't know much about mining, but your suggestion that $230/ton would be needed to have a mine in this company's environment would seem a little extreme. I am just mentally converting that dollar figure to gold values and I do not know of many gold mines that are required to have over half an ounce of gold to the ton to be economical. If I read it correctly, the engineers feel that with 50 million tons of reserves, mining costs could be reduced to as low as $50/ton which seems to be supported by the geofin report that was done by an independent. This company was drilling this property when the cores were demonstrating $130/ton values and everybody involved with the property felt it was economical then. Where is the company wrong?

I am an employee holding 200,000 plus, and I believe this company should be aggressively accumulated now!!!
