Drill Baby Drill The joint venture with AEM is proceeding at the local Mexican pace. AEM last fall did all the necessary field work including agreements with the local rancheros. CBI has reported that AEM has fulfilled all its obligations under the JV-meaning AEM is up to date. Next commitment is starting now-and that means drilling!! Expect to see a diamond drill on the property within the next two to three weeks and who knows maybe a RC drill as well. AEM is committed to spend $1.5 in drilling over the next 18 months and if results warrant it they will spend more and faster. CBI's own program at the Ramard site is proceeding and that means that CBI is actually drilling. Assaying is a slow process and one is dependent on labs doing the work so I do not expect any news on that front for a while. All of this to say that CBI is doing what they are supposed to be doing viz: explore and drill. Market action? Who knows. But it will not take much good news to move the stock. Maldoror
