It is documented that Baker Hughes has agreed to pay $150.00 and above for present and future barite. It is a fact that Baker Hughes has a Master Service Agreement with MBMI.
It is a fact that Baker Hughes has an excellent relationship with their partner and therefore it would be
out of character with this agreement and in particularl, the understanding that latitude on schedule,
size, and other areas is naturally a part of reasonability. This is by all standards an obvious, and professional courtesy . In this case it would be patently ridiculous for Baker Hughes who has been there every step of the way , not to mention the offering of their client Steinbock Minerals Switzerland
to participate with this venture, TO SUDDENLY BAIL BECAUSE THERE WERE 5 GALLONS SHORT of the 225,000 tons.
