RE: What October 23/2010 will mean!Discovery holes drilled by Phelps Dodge in 1999 and 2000 produced some of the highest grade base and precious metal intersections ever achieved in the area outside the Buchans mine. The Buchans mine produced 16.2 million tonnes averaging 14.50 per cent Zn, 7.56 per cent Pb, 1.33 per cent Cu, 126 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag and 1.37 g/t Au over its 56-year mine life. By comparison, the discovery holes drilled at Mary March by Phelps ran 10.33% Zn, 118.1g/t Ag, 1.62% Pb, 4.1 g/t Au, 0.66% Cu over 9.23 m; 16.8% Zn, 660 g/t Ag, 12.2 g/t Au, 5.44% Pb, 0.18% Cu over 0.91m; and 3.02% Zn, 1.08% Pb, 72.4 g/t Ag, 0.13% Cu, over 20.6m
