Item 4. Information on the Company
D. Property, Plants and Equipment, page 31
1.Please revise your individual property disclosures as necessary to remove duplicative
information and to more clearly focus your discussion. For example, information
beginning on page 63, such as the resource estimate and resource estimate sensitivity
tables, also appear on pages 56 and 58.
2.We note that you have included disclosure regarding your quality assurance and quality
control review on page 53, although the revised disclosure appears to

3.We note that your revised disclosure includes a detailed description of your cut-off grade
calculation, and that the cost portion of the cut-off grade calculation appears to include
processing and G&A costs, although does not appear to include the mining cost.
Please explain to us how the resulting cut-off grade would have the requisite utility
without consideration of the mining cost, i.e. to differentiate material having economic
value from material having no economic value, in establishing the prospects of economic
extraction, consistent with the definition in Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
