For those who are familiar with XMG's Driftwood project, you will know that they have been into Driftwood for 3 years now and their simple quarry operation (much simpler than FAT's thin dykes that need a lot of interpretation) is nowhere to be seen yet. They don't even have a PEA yet, let alone a bankable Feasibility Study to finance the operation.
I made similar statements on the XMG site two years ago and the pumpers went ballistic there too. Some of them probably knew better too. Lazerson had no idea how long it would take when I first talked to him and he was making wildly optimistic timeframes.
For FAT, they have drilling to do yet to get the 3D modeling done sufficiently just to get a maiden 43-101 Resource Report with actual tonnage, let alone all the infill drilling they have to do to do a mining plan. There is a huge amount of work to do to delineate this resource.
Sorry guys, I have been on this train too many times in the past. If you don't want the truth, listen to the pumpers and put me on ignore....... thank you.
Keith will seel this before he takes this to a mine. He just now proviing up more dykes. then comes the numbers on paper. wammo its a done deal. imo
