RE: 2.5 THOUSAND METRE DRILLCome on Deacon, a 2,500 m drill program is pretty standard fare. If the holes are 150 to 300m which is pretty usual in exploration drilling you would have an 8 to 16 hole program. That is a fairly normal size to justify mobilizing a drill.
If you had to have 100M market cap to drill a $400K drill program the Venture market would be a very quiet place.
