Don, its hard to know what was included and what was not. Remember part of the Krieging that we suffered through was the notion that only ore that was within the parameters of a open pit mine were included in the resource. (John told me it actually was conical shaped) In sept I tried to summerize all 97's drill results. At that point we had 106 RC & 11 DD. Several of the DD results showed NSI. If you look at the maps, that have been provided, Barrick seems to us DD to test the boundaries and RC to better define what lies within. IMO for all practical purposes the resource has been calculated based on RC results. (I figure that Barrick has a variable fudge factor that they use to adjust & correct the RC figures.) Now of course we know that Barrick also drilled 12 DD twins (for metalurgical purposes). Seems unlikely that the results from these holes were used in our resource calculations. Regards, Dave
