A few points from the conf. call.

1) Santa Fe exceeded expectations, upside yet to be revealed. BH-6 exceedingly encouraging.

2) SF appears to be large even by Nevada standards. estimated extension 24k x 4.5k, re-logging cores prior to phase 2 drilling. Phase 2 will commence nxt 3-4 weeks on completion of core re-logging. Estimate 20 holes and will last 4-6 months.

3) Permitting for Cove advancing well and smoothly. Newmont being very co-operative re-back-in discussions.

4) 2010 Dublin Gulch drilling season will be commencing within nxt 4 wks.

A) There were very few questions. One question re the introduction of a poison pill. Chad said that that was something to consider if Santa Fe keeps improving.

After thought: I'd make a lousy secretary.
