RE: Question from 77

Norm Just watching the board and not posting lately, but there have been a whole lot of inaccuracies rolling from some of the new posters. Guess they still need more DD time. Hope all is well. On the Blackpine, not all muck there is 'lower grade'. If you can remember the feeder zone that we drilled on the far eastern end of the Trench Zone, you will recall that the cobalt grade was close to 1% and that we had high gold grades associated with it. You might remember it a little if you think about the time when we initially moved from Blackpine over to do the staking at Sunshine. The zone was generally north south high angle oblique to the stratabound copper exhalatives and the gold ran as high as 1.0 opt Au. I think that Bill played with putting a resource together on it, but it was relatively small in terms of tonnage, maybe a couple hundred thousand tons in the average grade of 0.3 opt Au and 0.75% cobalt. Its pretty similar to the Uncle Sam Zone that was the initial target in the 1890's at Blackbird. There were some interesting targets we hit over to the east of there as well in the last drilling we did at Blackpine, prior to starting the Ram drilling, but the consistancy of the RAM zone placed focus there rather then over at Blackpine. Somebody here was suggesting that the deposits were open on strike but confined at depth. Thats bass ackwards. They are exhalatives that occur at the junctions of paleo fracture feeder systems and time stratagraphic volcanic zones. Those are now sitting all folded up due to several periods of regional metamorphism and are very unconfined with depth, but restricted with respect to strike. Deeper drilling with higher costs associated will very quickly expand the reserves at RAM, but can potentially be done more cheaply once UG workings are in place. There are numerous zones beyond that, some with drilling, some with just soils grids on them and a few that we know just from old prospect pits and surface geology. The old Gordon Hughes report really ought to be part of everybody's reading. Gordie was Noranda's exploration manager and when he worked up at the Big Flat Camp he was placing a global resource on the FCO ground at 50 million tons of half a percent cobalt muck for the area based on average size of ore bodies. That was prior to finding the extensions of the Main Zone that the RAM represents or the zones south of Blackbird Creek. Well, back to the grind of proving up industrial minerals. Might try to catch the sledding party this year if you guys are planning on having it between drilling over here in Moscow. All my best Phil
