I SUGGEST YOU NOW PRINT THE REPORT FROM THE NORTHERN MINER ARTICLE FROM APRIL 28 1997 ON THAT SAME GROUP OF SAMPLES AND WHAT THEY ACTUALLY RECOVERED. THAT WAS THE TECHNIQUE THAT IPM WANTED TO USE. YOU ARE RIGHT, IT, AND NO ASSAY METHOD USED AT THAT TIME WORKED OUT. THE LEVELS OF PRECIOUS METALS ASSAYED WERE LESS THAN 5 THOUSANDTHS OF AN OUNCE PER TON. INTERESTING TO BE SURE SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN NO SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT TEST OF THE BLACK ROCK AREA. IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS BY IPM.

<< On site observation of the drilling program, including the collection, handling, and security of the samples was completed. Additionally, Behre Dolbear observed and monitored IPM's sample preparation laboratory to verify that sample preparation and treatment procedures consistently followed previously established accepted methodology. All of the above was subject to close scrutiny and given Behre Dolbears's approval. It is evident that IPM is executing a well-planned program. Behre Dolbear notes no shortcomings in equipment, operating procedures, or security measures in either phase of their program.>> Please notice that BD observed and monitored. They did not say that they provided chain of custody etc. etc. For what it is worth, maybe nothing. IMHO TIm Hall
