RE: Drilling on Nopalera The exact start date of the drilling on Nopalera depends on many things, including the compilation of data and selection of the best targets, the availability of suitable drilling contractors, the local weather (rainfall in particular - which determines whether we use water pumps or water trucks)and the stock market too. Can you tell me what the market will be like and what the price of gold will be on January 25th? If gold plunges and the market is terrible, would you want us to start anyway, or wait a bit until someone cares?I always give my best estimates, as I cannot tell the future. If you can, I have a job for you.
