RE:RE:RE:RE:John Kaiser/ Dicovery Watch NGEHi Westcoastwalker. That is a really good point that I hadnt considered!!! I work in the Oil and Gas industry and I cant remember a time the drill team walked off a drill hole. There have been plenty of work stoppages over safety, but not over pay. Our guys get a day rate and per diem, but not bonus money on meters drilled. To pay based on meters drilled per day is what I would call a bad contract in our industry. It would make no sense to do that. Just pay a good day rate and why pay meters drilled per day?? If we paid meters per day drilled what would happen is that the experienced drillers would move all the newer less experienced drillers to the long drills and the experienced drillers would take the short ones to make more money. That would never work for us because you want the most experienced drillers on the longest drill holes when the problems come up. In the Oil and Gas industry we drill for product or we drill sometimes to install pipelines under things like the Ohio River so its a little different, but the same. As for hole 12 having anything to do with the walk off of the drillers....its a stretch to tie it to that hole. Here is a BIG QUE that will give us our anser on drill hole 12 though. NVDEF is really good with strategizing their financings. If they take a financing before they release the drill results, you can bet your life they missed on hole 12 and I would sell. Realty
