<<Why is a company that is in a hurry to raise expectations to 20 million equivalent ounces drilling in a limited area (in some cases only 10-50 m from previous holes)? >>

Sudir,

Excellent remark. I've raised this question a few times and it was even asked to the Lundins in the last conference call. The answer was that thye wanted to firm up the ounces in the proven category. IMO...as you just said... this is a nonsense when you want to prove up 20M ounces...you would be better drilling step outs at 100M and more intervals. IMO, they know that Amable is reaching its limits.

Still, the holes drill so far support 6M ounces and a price of $5-$6...possibly $7. So at current price ARP is definitively cheap.

What is wrong with a 50 m step out holes? That seems a reasonable amount if you want to define the peramiters of a resource. The 10 m wholes are DD holes to confirm true grades are they not? What would expect them to do?
