You are right, BOW. I was going by our website as fact, and see it hasn,t been updated at least on that map. Anyhow, some more interesting things have come of it. I see on the old map it stated 2 million ounces, by whats below in this excerpt, looks like they added another 2 million ounces and have a measured and indicated 4 billion pounds of copper. This is just NE of Barricks Lagunas Norte, but still on the same side of the fault as the Vilcoro. Also, that seems like a pretty good production number for the first 7-8 months. I believe we have to get working on Vilcoro too, I believe there is a lot of upside in our sp from Vilcoro.
IMO
