10m ounces: an investigation, page-22

Hi Jul1123,

OK, well that is interesting. I must admit that I'd stopped reading their reports in any more than a cursory way last year.

To my knowledge, that's the first time they have been independently assessed. Perhaps the Dubai investor required it?

I'd assume that they were reviewing the two documents linked on this page.

At any rate, both Snowden and Coffey have good reputations, as far as I'm aware.

I would just note that reviewing somebody else's assessment and finding that it doesn't contain any noticeable error, is different to making an independent assessment of a resource for yourself.

Nevertheless, it provides a bit more re-assurance than when I made my original investigation of the company's past 10 years' reports.
