Zeev, yes the equation should have been: $1,800 times .2 times 500,000 = $180 million divided by 22.5 million shares = $8 per share. This is a valuation based on the asset (enhanced ore at Hassayampa only).

If you want to do a valuation based on cash flow then you have to apply a multiple (between 10 and 20) times the EPS.

If we look at risks, they are not too bad: (1)We do not need to worry about permits - the ore is in piles, (2) we have AuRIC that has put a value on the PGMs that they refined at $1800, (3) improved processes should be able to raise the value of the refined PGMs since the $1800 appears to be only a 16.6% recovery versus Twiford's lab recovery, (4) increasing the output of dore and/or anode slimes is not rocket science.

Bob
