    Appeal dismissed because ZCM failed to prove the essential agreement between the three defendants or that the missing ore belonged to ZCM: the transport/weighing records and Tajco list were insufficient and uncorroborated, the stockpile/production sheet was not produced, brokers handled negotiations so Tajco/Peakmore lacked knowledge of Tan, payments to Tan had a credible commercial explanation, and the 1st defendant’s guilty plea did not establish a conspiracy by the others.
