    From the July 2006 announcement



    "The desktop study showed that at a production rate of 39,000t of copper and 127,000 oz gold/year

    for 10 years, capital cost of US$235,000,000, an assumed copper price of $US2.80/lb and a gold

    price of US$640/oz:

    �� IRR is 55%.

    �� Cumulative cash flow to shareholders is US$1,300,000,000.

    �� NPV is US$515,700,000.

    Note that the copper price on 7/7/2006 is $US3.60/lb (www.kitco.com) or ~30% higher than the

    $US2.80 assumed above.

    If much lower metal prices of US$1.30/lb for copper and US$500/oz for gold are used the project is still

    robust:

    �� IRR is 16.3%.

    �� Cumulative cash flow to shareholders is US$481,000,000.

    �� NPV is US$57,000,000.

    If a reserve of 200Mt at the same grades as the Inferred Resource can be proven and a copper price of

    US$2.80/lb and gold price of US $640/oz are used:

    �� IRR is 53.3%.

    �� Cumulative cash flow to shareholders is US$2,597,300,000.

    �� NPV is US$1,015,000,000."




    That are some impressive numbers, especially when you take into account the lower metal prices in 2006 and the resource considered is only 340,000 t copper and 51t gold.
    Issued capital in 2006: 72 mill shares and 39 mill options.



    Share price went to 52c.
    _______________________

    Today we have a resource of 754,000 t of copper, 83 t of gold, 21,200 t of molybdenum and 475 t of silver and higher metal prices.
    Issued capital today: 133 mill shares and 83 Mill options.

    If much lower metal prices of US$1.30/lb for copper and US$500/oz for gold make the project still
    robust, then you can be sure it's a goer. The conceptual mining study should be a hit, but there is more on Monday to advance the share price.

    Good luck to all
