MTB's announcement yesterday from its Botswana base metal drilling hints at some pretty exciting potential with a 40m section returning 16.3 grammes silver per tonne in addition to some lead and zinc.

One metre returned an extraordinary 344 grammes of silver per tonne so it would be nice if further drilling could find an extension to that particular vein.

With diamond drillng continuing at their exciting prospect in Namibia and cash royalties from gold commencing this year, I am hopeful that MTB will finally get some attention from the market in 2004.

I hold.
