Creating value through Exploration and Development in the Sierra Madre of Mexico
Puzzleman, I have included Resource Estimate M, which was done in 2007. It is my understanding that this will be upgraded to Resource Estimate N (If that is the correct terminology) within the next 60 days. That might be overly optimistic. This resources estimate can be found on Kimber's website under "resources." Baires, sorry, when you asked me about a resource estimate previously I was thinking you were referring to a formal feasibility study. As far as other things go, it is my understanding that while Kimber could one day open its own mine, that is NOT the plan right now. Per Eric King and Jim Puplava's Pac-Man Theory, as outlined on the show many times, the idea is that the Majors will start buying juniors as the gold bull market progresses. Management's plan right now is to do everything to insure that Kimber will be one of those take out candidates, which I feel they are doing very well. Bull
