something stirred the bear, page-59

Just opened my email from Dave with his reply to my Forum question:

"We are undergoing a quick changeover in the system that underlies our web site, and so for
the next day or two I will not be able to add any new posts to the Forum.

In answer to your question, the Ravensthorpe technology is incompatible with the Intec
Process, and most particularly the materials of construction for the existing plant would
not be suitable. The use of the Intec Process would require BHP to make a fresh capital
outlay to build a whole new Intec Process plant on the site, which would be highly unlikely
given its existing sunk capital at the site. As such, we will not be pursuing BHP for
inclusion in its options study.

I will post a more complete answer to the Forum as soon as I am able to do so."

Best regards,

Dave Sammut
Corporate Development Manager
