"Interesting that the property details for Carotare were taken off the company website. The site now does mention that an updated resourse estimate is due jan 2010!"
They have changed the pages for the Carmen, Carotare, and Vetas Minitas resources as well as the "Mineral Resources page.
It appears they are updating everything in accord with the recent news releases. You are correct in saying that there is nothing (as yet) posted on the Carotare page. The Carotare resources have also been removed from the Mineral Resource page.
Take heart, I'm sure the gold is still there.
