There's a lot you haven't heard of, apparantly.
Did you not see all those assays and reports that NMC released about 3/1/2005? You may not have, because they weren't up for long on their website. But I saved them all.
It may be that the company, after their release, never stated that the current value was that high, but scads of pumpers did, interpolating based on the then value of pm's.
All that data is saved on an old computer....not worth my time to save to an online storage site. Suffice to say, but the nunbers were somewhere between 8 and 20 billion.....
What should concern you is that the only assays ever done that were by reputable firms should near zero pm's.....
IMO anything else, as claimed on current NMC documents, is false.
