Mostly I'm referring to all the targets you mention. What I find of particular interest is the raw size of this thing. I mean, most IR departments are salivating if they have a single 500m diameter geophysical anomaly to brag about.

Following ARP closely a person gets excited with the realization that there are several distinct, large targets apparently clustered close together. Truthfully, I don't really buy into that idea.

I think hole 76 is of vast importance. The results were good - 193m of 1.49 g/t gold and 55.09 g/t silver - but it is the location that excites me.

Think about Pascua. It is big, it is deep, and it averages less than 1.5 g/t gold with +/- 20g/t silver. I think ARP potentially has a similar find that has barely begun to feel the drills. I think ARP has to go deeper.

I'll not be surprised if the 96/97 NW target ultimately becomes part of the Filo Federico target, joined at depth with relatively small higher grade "pods".

Finally, I think ARP is for the first time on top of their geological modelling and that management knew several months ago they would have to produce a few good holes at the end of the season to retain interest for '99. I think the best is yet to come.
