Marla's answer...

Hi Jim, I can't comment on timing of drill results. I can reiterate what is in our Directors' Circular of July 30 on page 21:

"Except as disclosed in this Directors' Circular, there is no information that is known to the directors or senior officers of Aurelian that would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of the Shareholders to accept or reject the Kinross offer."

My Question...

As a follow up to your last reply of July 29th I am wondering if I can look
forward to a press release regarding completed drill results that were not
previously reported on. As mentioned before my feelings are the drill
results are important information that might have an affect on my decision
regarding the Kinross offer.

Since the April shut-down of drilling I'm sure a lot of planning towards the
mine development has been done as well as the resource update . It was
hoped that the new update would be made by the end of summer and that some ,
and hopefully half, of the prior resource could be moved into the reserve
category.

As the September 3 deadline approaches I would like to know if this
information will be forthcoming.
