20121,
One thing you are commenting on I think is very valid: the track record of adding ounces seems inadequate based on what we have heard is the potential.
If someone CHARTED "ounces added" by year, projecting forward would only add 1M per 4 years. So in eight years Tyhee could hit 4M ounces +/-. It would not be a chart (so far) to get potential investors excited.
What dynamics could change this rate? The rate has been erractic also. It would be interesting to hear comments about this from management.
Good luck.
SM
