re CSI news. Looks like this clears up any and all ambiguities that exist between the 2 stakeholders but at what cost? CSI is spinning this as a good deal. Any views? Ogi? Where are the drill results! YDD

Sussman told me about a year ago that CSI would seek to amend the agreement because the original production premiums only considered gold and not PGMS. When they first got the project the extent of PGMS at Serra Pelada was under appreciated. The Coomigasp members had already been done out of PGM payments in prior mining and have won a decision that they are owed about 200 mil in back payments, except no one knows who will pay those monies, ie: gov or CVRD etc. I do view this new agreement as strongly positive for CSI going forward.

Orko Silver partner drills 15.65 m of 0.579 g/t Au 2009-11-12 09:43 ET - News Release Shares issued 114,458,979 OK Close 2009-11-11 C$ 0.97 Mr. Gary Cope reports ORKO SILVER CONTINUES TO RECEIVE ENCOURAGING DRILLING RESULTS Orko Silver Corp. continues to receive favourable results from the continuing drilling program being completed by its joint-venture partner, Pan American Silver Corp., on the La Preciosa project in Durango, Mexico. Diamond drill hole BP09-375 yielded 15.65 metres grading Au 0.579 g/t and Ag 439.4 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 474.1 g/t. Included in this hole is an interval of 5.85 metres grading Au 1.146 g/t and Ag 942.0 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 1,010.7 g/t. Also of note is hole BP09-392 with 16.89 metres grading Au 0.441 g/t and Ag 225.3 g/t for a silver-equivalent of 251.8 g/t. Gary Cope, President of Orko Silver, states; "We are extremely pleased to see that Pan American's delineation drilling results confirm those initially reported by Orko Silver. The presence of wide high grade intervals is also very encouraging for the project." The Pan American Phase-I delineation (infill) drilling at La Preciosa consisted of 19 HQ diamond drill holes for a total of 6,316.83 meters and was reported in a news release dated September 08, 2009. The Phase-II drilling program has commenced and includes further delineation drilling, plus drilling on the previously identified exploration targets located immediately surrounding the La Preciosa deposit. To date, PAA has drilled 40 Phase-II holes, an additional 17 delineation holes and 23 holes on the exploration targets for a total of 9,924.44 meters. Assays for 25 of the Phase-II holes are now available. Delineation drilling is in the Central Area of the La Preciosa Resource. Exploration drilling around the periphery of the Resource includes nine holes from the South Area on the Martha Vein. Multiple mineralized intercepts are presented in the two tables for the Central Area and South Area testing of the Martha Vein. The delineation results from the new holes are all located in the known Martha vein structure and were drilled at approximately 50 metre spacing in an area previously drilled by Orko Silver at 100 metre spacing. This data again confirms Orko Silver's previously reported results, and will form the basis of a geostatistical study, toward ultimate resource definition. Phase-II diamond drilling is still underway. The results of the exploration drilling to date from Baritina and El Vaquero, which are targets outside of the Martha vein resource, have been inconclusive. Further drilling has been done in both areas; results of which are pending. Based on the visual information encountered in the drill core and geological interpretation on cross sections, additional drilling is contemplated in these areas during November and December.
