Ian (et al), interesting that the other companies in the area were mentioned for sure. You had a look at those other companies? I did this morning... couple of points of interest:

* current programmes to confirm historic resource calculations;
* pegging and testing of extension targets;
* drilling programmes testing beyond pit boundaries
* similar (2008) timeframes for resource confirmation and refinement of feasibility studies.

Quaterra plug their primary target as "opportunity to consolidate a copper district with prospect of near-term production". Nevada Copper Corp - wow bullish as all hell - (great article and media there by the way which mentions infrastructure etc in the yerrington/lyons area).

Who knows who is talking to who and if they are, don't even want to conjecture on that at present. Just what I like is a common sense amongst all players that they are sitting upon something viable and potentially bigger than historical data and current expectations suggests - just like us.

I'll be keeping a bit of an eye on these companies in the coming months too.

Cheers, Donna
