eureka west

Current drilling is focused on extending and upgrading status of the inferred resource at Eureka West that is not including in the current PFS.

Eureka West

973,800t @ 10.7 g/t Au and 156 g/t Ag
containing ~336koz Au and ~4.9Moz Ag.

The importance of this drilling on Eureka West is to first upgrade the JORC status to indicated which would then extend the high grade production beyond year 3 in the current PFS (Eureka main vein only). This potential upgrade will stack AND up as a serious +250kozpa Au eq company for > 5-6 years or longer at
The most recent result (26m of 24.5 g/t Au and 125 g/t Ag) again extend this wide high grade shoot at depth a further 70m and is still open at depth.

Not cheap compared to some others on EV/oz but one of the best leverage plays to exploration, gold price and future production cash flow. And imo corporate action (again) as one of the best emerging producers since BSG.

Also has $23M in cash.

For example using

250koz pa
US$150 oz cash cost
US$800 oz sale price
US$650 oz gross margin or
US$163M pa....

Main risks for 2009 are resource upgrades, capex funding and gold price.
