This is a secret between you and I;-)

They have more than 80+ mT.

Pound for existing pound of metal you are correct. The value was based on future tonnage even beyond present day values. This is common in the purchase of mining entities. You cannot buy just the metal you see. There is always a futures factor and sometimes it is over stepped.

For any keeners, check out the book titled Mineral Deposit Evaluation: A Practical Approach (ISBN 0-412-35290-7).

Primary factors to consider would be:

1) Price of metals
2) Mining Costs
3) Power Costs
4) Tax Structure
etc.

But underlying this is: Technically DML is a virtually valueless company (fundemental analysis)therefore the $2.50 share price is tied only to hope related to a mineral property with X potential. Try and calculate a P/E or other indicator. To assign a proper value to DML would have to take the route through the potential value to a major, to purchase DML's complete interest in the property. A developed mine approach is not possible for a junior of DML's financial or technical standing.

We are mixing our juniors, explorers, and mine developers. DML is a former and Teck is a latter. Both would like to be in the middle class as well.

Mad cow II, this message is for you.

This is my analysis on a economic mine deposit at with 20 mt of ore with ni $2.85 us, cu $1.00 us and co $15.00 us.

To determine the price per tonne I used drill hole 97-67 assay results 1.13 ni, .78 cu and .20 co. (This was over 15m vertical drill)
I did not include assay results from hole 97-75 which were 11.75 ni, 9.70 cu and .43 co over 1.2 meters at 45* angle or so. These two core samples represent $40,000 CDN in metal sales alone (125 tonnes).

The value of this assay puts on the ore is $216.oo CDN. Multiply 216.00 by 20 mt you have 4.3 billion dollars divide by 4 (25%) you
have 1.082 billion dollars, divide by 35 million fully diluted shares
you $30.00 in metal sales. There it is .

I am not saying Donner has a very valuable property, but I am saying Donner may become a very valuable property owner/co-owner these are just my thoughts

One more item
You notice the extra amounts of director and employee options being granted over the past 10 months. I have not checked insider trading but I believe these options are being held. just my thoughts.

You seem to have placed WINER in an appropriate setting.I have previously mentioned his olfactory proclivity. Re your calculations, you may wish to include a prorata discount relative to DF because the DML potential find is 50 km inland and would require a road.
