RE: p.s. Jacob also mentioned that....Sorry Digger; but I can't buy your rational. In mid april the drills were still turning and on schedule.
One must also factor in that the holes were shallow exploratory holes just deep enough to comfirm that the surface grab samples contiued same for some depth. Thus a lot of downtime was taken by dismantling the rig; choppering to a new drill site; re-assembling and drilling again.
Remember the game plan was to test drill for diamondferious kimbelite, gold and base metals that are scattered all over the BMK's mineral claims.
Also (JMHO) there was the matter of cutting new claim lines and filing such; before the mining recorder could approve and give the green light to go ahead.
So all in all my hat's off to the boys in the feild since there is core for assaying.
