RE:RE:Cheerleaders Post!"The Burro deposit contains an historical mineral resource estimate as defined by the National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is not considered by Sitka Gold Corp. to be a current mineral resource because a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to reclassify it as such."
So whether there was drilling or not the resource had to be updated to classify it as a reource. Having said that, you are correct holes at Burro Creek are generally shallow so not very expensive. As I recall they did 11 holes 1000 meters so very shallow. Looking at the results of those holes they were not very good! In fact, some would say sucked the big one. in my opinion they would add very little if anything to the historic resource once updated.
It would seem to me that they have changed focus and Burro has been put on the back burner. I suspect there money will be spent elsewhere based on the results of Phase 1 drilling!
