per
cubic meter? Provide an in-place density estimate to convert
cubic
meters to metric tons (tonnes).

4. It is the staff`s position that prior to declaring reserves,
the
company should have obtained a "final" or "bankable" feasibility
study, and employed the historic three-year average price for the
economic analysis. In addition, the company should have submitted
all necessary permits and authorizations, including environmental,
to
governmental authorities.
Supplementally provide the Cangalli Reserves report prepared by
Carlos Thompson and Giovanni Viscarra, dated February 2004, as
referenced on page 15 and the Buen Futuro Reserve Report prepared
by
Michael Biste, Ronald Atwood, and Hugo Aparacio, dated February
2004.
Include production from these properties since publication and
recent
cutoff grade calculations. To minimize shipping and handling
costs,
this report may be sent on a CD-ROM.
