re: drillingCalder drilling proceeding well - making very good progress - almost finished the first program - appear to have a very efficient rig - would expect some assays on the first holes shortly - hopefully next week with the first batch looking for gold in every hole as this is essentially an infill development project with the goal of adding ounces to an existing resource - of which VSR will eventually have to do the initial 43-101 resource calculation to determine the approximate number of ounces in the ground - when that comes ( likely after the second round of drilling) IMHO I anticipate between 250,000 - 400,000 ounces.- a good start to a mineable (decline ) resource for Westwood.
I will be looking for some good intercepts -especially at depth (250 - 300m) - the main exploration focus.- any economic intercept will help and based on the historical drilling offsets, there should be some nice numbers - - - and as always - waiting for the same from Nelligan
