Well it depends on what you know about industry practice and particularly Dome's practice. IF you were to speculate that if they don't add to their reserves in the next 5 years then they will only be able to add X to their ounces and only mine Y without buying new properties and were to evaluate their worth as a company by the figure in their annual report then you would be wrong, dead wrong. The annual report is entertainment. The geology department is what counts. I figure after 22 years in the business and knowing a few former exploration managers for this company that you can read between the lines. Evaluating the worth of such companies is what I do. Of course it is moot but so what? In fact Dome is evaluated at 300 dollar gold when in fact they are getting 400 dollars an ounce. So they are fundamentally undervalued. The American habit of evaluation gold mines is to multiply their reserve ounces time the $50.00 US and dividing by the shares out. But in fact before 1996 no Canadian Gold mine was selling at less than $85.00 US per ounce in reserves. And that may because CDN producer ounces are conservatively evaluated in toto. I would hazard a guess that Dome is selling for over a $100.00 US per stated ounce reserves even now. I would say at $40 they were a tad high in price though.

Your comments assume (the same as those that predicted the total collapse of gold price due to the "great find" of BRE-X) that that gold will all hit the market immediatly.
Though I hate to paint a great company like PDG with the "dirty brush" of Bre-X, one should remember the same thing happened then, and over a few days the idea became discarded.
