RE:RE:RE:Is 1st GRC Traget an Extension of No 5 PlugWWH,
Not sure why management did not spend any time to discuss about #5 Plug despite a wealth of information . As you have listed in your posts, there is a lot of historic drill info, via ICG NRs, about this area, but on their website, under Project/No. 5 Plug, there is just about 1/4 of a page summarizing the facts that this Plug is accessible from 3 locations as Blue has described (from Sigma, Lamaque and #3 Mine). In addition, #5 Plug is shown prominently on slide 18 of their latest (Dec 2016) Corp Presentation (they just want to tease/test us). The GRC Target #1 (Toyota/Sigma Zone) was featured with two historic intercepts outside the anomaly. Granted that the intercepts are in the 4m range, which may look better than the intercepts for #5 Plug. But, if the comparison is made on the basis of gpt-m, then the results for #5 Plug would be quite impressive. For example, hole P5-12-11 would give 23.37gpt x 3m = 70 gpt-m and 517gpt x 1m = 517 gpt-m (compared to 88gpt-m and 40gpt-m for Toyota). Other examples: E-155 (197.55gpt x 2.59m = 511 gpt-m), or P5-10-01....etc.
Another point worth noting is that slide 18 shows that the target (the red bulls eye) is about twice bigger than the Toyota target...and that Plug #5 was drilled like swiss cheese, inside and outside the target.
That bring in vein 35 which was discovered just outside the Plug. There are a few qood pieces of info in the following link, espescially Slie 10 and 18. Slide 10 show a fair size red blob in the purple (diorite) zone. Not sure if the depiction is accurate as far as size of the deposit is concerned, but I believe there was some reason for showing the "size" of the blob (i.e. it means something). Slide 18 shows vein 35, at the top of the page. Judging from the scale Plug #5 would be at the end of that vein?

Alright then, so if Plug #5 is not the current priority, management should come out and say so, and explain the reasons why it's not a priority.
If the deposit is near surface and economically viable then perhaps there would be an opportunity to extract the ore from the neighbouring accesses, at least from Sigma and Mine #3 above the flooding level. Or, even do it in an open pit operation to extract the stuff from inside and outside the Plug.
