Just got back from touring Pine Cove mine.....management welcomes visitors with open arms. Plant facilities looks great. There is a stock pile of crushed rock/ore at the facility being processed and the plant is operating 24 hours a day. The plant had a few startup up problems but are now all ironed out. It is confirmed that the plant is operating at a capacity of 500 tpd and gold is being produced. Management is bubbling with delight as gold bars are being formed.

I also found out that there is a Annual Mining Conference being held in the Baie Verte area this weekend....see attachment below. The local hotel confirmed that Harold Wareham will be attending....he does have hotel reservations. Anaconda will be making a presentation and given an update on Pine Cove mine ....and will be displaying a number of its large gold bars.

On a negative note, the grand opening date has been postponed from mid june to the first week of September due to scheduling problems with people...mainly because of summer vacations by the politicians and head management of ANX and NIS.

All investors in the area should that a tour of the mine. It is quite impressive.

Got to love it.
