It depends on how you define a Canadian company. There are estimates of some 1,400 companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. They don't all operate in Canada, and a lot of them are junior exploration companies. There is an organization called the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, which represents the junior exploration business, the front end, the ones who go out and find these projects. We're the ones who, once they're found, develop them and mine.
