Drilling hi-grade uraniumWhen the drill hits hi-grade pitchblende, the drill core turns black, so one doesn’t need a scintillometer to know when you’ve hit. In fact, the drillers know they’ve hit, even before the core comes out of the ground, because the drilling return water turns black. One can assume that within a few hours of a hole’s completion, the whole exploration camp knows whether or not they’ve hit. With three rigs operating since early January, and millions of shares trading hands every day, shareholders need to be updated.
