Ann: High Grade Copper From Deep Drilling , page-2

OK, while those deep drilling samples look very good, I have the following queries;

- It looks as though not all drilling was completed that had been planned to be completed by this stage. With the on-set of poor drilling conditions, does this now mean that the drilling program is behind? If so, does this effect the date at which the DFS will be completed? I would assume it would have to. Also, how long does drilling have to stop for due to poor conditions?

- Those new drilling results released look to allude to possible under-ground operations. How do these results interact (if at all) with the exploration targets the company was trying to hit so that the 3mtp/a, 10 year mine scenario could be considered? I was under the impression that underground mining would be looked at after the topside mining was completed. What I guess I'm getting at is, are we still looking good for a resource upgrade that will allow for the 3mtp/a, 10 year mine life?
