Ann: Response to ASX Query, page-41

Very well said asculpeous.
The detail that BBX had previously supplied prior the ASX query in their various sampling announcements certainly took a lot of time to digest and ponder for most if not all of us, certainly did for me and I'm not a dummy. I doubt the ASX have the experts on board or the time/resources to try and wade through it all and come up with a query response of a technical nature. Not blaming them. Its a complex geology no doubt. Am guessing that someone in the ASX police was having a coffee and donut while reading the Australian, saw the article casting some disquiet, and hit the panic button, and called in an expert to decipher what the hell it all meant, the expert got to earn a buck so comes up with a set of detailed questions for follow up by BBX. That's my presumption. I thought the BBX response was sufficiently open and detailed, obviously not, so here comes Round 2. I don't believe for a moment there is no gold, because we were given the photos of the extracted gold after the hydro/pyro treatments of the samples. So its there... full stop. The question revolves around sampling methodology and its representativeness. Consequently, as others have said, the drill will have to do the talking. If things are on schedule, drilling commenced a few days ago.

As for the intractability of the gold in the rocks re assay methods, I don't know enough to even hazard a comment, but BBX has shown conclusively its in there after labouring away to develop a technique.
