	Dear Sirs,

	With  reference  to the  classification  of
broken  underground  reserves in the  proven category,  the broken material is contained
within surveyed stopes,  the  tonnage of  material,  including  initial  swell drawn from
the stopes is known,  together  with mill  reconciliations,  and the grade of the broken
material  is  established  from face  samples  every  round which give both width of
round and  face  grade at every  advance,  including  dilution.  In my view,  the
material  therefore  falls within the confidence  limits of the proven category as used
at  the mine.

	Yours faithfully,

	/s/  Dr D Patrick
