The most important thing right now.No, definitely not the election! Whatever result more people will be appalled than pleased. Fortunately we bbb shareholders have more important things on our minds...just when will we see our assays and what expectations are reasonable for us to have?
As i posted last week here again is the latest non news from Mitchell of investor relations.
Drilling is ongoing, and all of our geologists including our CEO Gary are in camp right now helping to finish the program. I haven't been given a detailed plan as to exactly where drilling is taking place, but we will be putting that out along with our report in a news release as soon as we get all the information back from the lab. If I find out anything else in the meantime, I will let you know as well.
So, they are still drilling. Mitchell doesn't know, or won't say, where but we know enough from Gary Thompson's Sept. 11 interview with Jay Taylor to make some reasonable inferences.
There will be a lot of Chivas Zone to depths of 1000 or more meters. I was struck that when Gary Thompson mentioned Chivas he actually said it was 'like a whole separate discovery' which jarred my ear as i was accustomed to considering Thorn as one big beautiful beast of a project. It's not...yet.
If Gary Thompson makes such a distinction between Oban and Chivas we should pay attention. Although he certainly encourages us to see them as parts of one big system by noting the rock they have in common--porphyry--and in 'Thorn' one big name for two systems (which would be far better if he'd left off the 'n') he is clearly searching for another elephant DISTINCT from the one he may have on his hands in Oban.
That Oban hole has created serious expectations that Gary Thompson has inadvertently played with by encouraging us to expect more at Chivas.
It took seven or eight years to find the Oban hole yet it was put on the backburner over Atlin and it feels the same again for Chivas. I mean mitchell can't even say if rudimentary stepouts have been drilled!
Why ignore the elephant you have in hand for one that may not exist?
A caveat. Since i discovered brixton this year i have enjoyed Gary Thompson's straight shooting. In fairness, the man has done exactly what he has said he would do. I just wish he would feel free to exercise a little discretion and concentrate on Oban. I know i would understand.
We could be another month or more waiting on assays.
Enjoy the sad coronation of our new (or old) meatball of a prime minister on Monday. That's not the suspense that's killing me.
