Probe Mines

I agree rst. The way I look at PRB's gold properties is what will they will be

worth 5 to 10 years from now when gold will probably be higher than

it is now. Eventhough input costs will also be higher.

I think Cliffs will buy BC and other properties once they see that the local

and national governments are on board with their program.

Cliffs had to demonstate to the government entitites that they were

serious about the ROF area. Cliffs commitment of several hundred million

dollars now has everybodys attention. Cliffs is now waiting for the

governments to make their owb comparible serious commitments. This

will take time but eventually I think Cliffs buys BC......eom
