Bill, I read your question to Shrake on the PFG web site. I'll be surprised if you get an answer. I think you are asking, what is in effect, a state secret. When John was still with IR 6-12mos ago he told me that the factor could be as high as 3x. Of course the new regime has avoided any comment on this point other than to say they're concerned about the apparent divergence and are looking into it.

A large correction would have such a profound effect on the size of the silver deposit that it is hard to imagine that it has taken so long to be addressed. Besides enriching the current deposit...there could well be other marginal areas that would become economical.

Bill, do you know if Barrick can avoid releasing this data since it was part of their bulk test..rather than a straight exploratory drill hole?

I know I probably sound like a "one song charlie" out here but after 12mos it seems like we are entitled to some answers.

Regards, Dave
