RAB Drilling?
So here is the one liner about RAB drilling from the news release back in August:
A rotary air blast (RAB) drill is being used to locate the bedrock source of the exceptionally anomalous radon results returned from the AlphaTrack survey.
With that being said, I think the RAB will only be testing very shallow bedrock(8-20m) as a follow-up to the radon anomaly tests. It is more of a exploration method to further test their drill targets so that when they do go in with diamond core drill they can do so with confidence. So those hoping for a halt after a big hit of minieralization might be sorely dissapointed. I always thought that RAB drilling is a little redundant given how accurate surveys and prospecting are these days when honing in on drill targets. Does anyone know whether FCU/NXE/AMW RAB drilled before diamond?

That makes sense. There wont be any halts this go round. Hopefully they zero in on locations for the core drill. I thought they had the big drill up there already ? Or was it up there and then left the site after the attempt in the winter? Would be nice if they provided a little more news.
