Summer 2017 Drill Program
So. What did we accomplish with the past drill program? 1. A couple of holes were showing expansion at depth. Great. But they did not place, in graphics, the last set of drill results. Why? I personally can not be bothered to play with the Azimuths and angles to create a 3D model. I depend on Ekim for the analytics. 2. Drill holes for geotechnical drilled at 60 degrees, indicating this is the probably the proposed pit slopes. Half the holes were lost due to technical difficulties. That's not good towards geo.. 3.Brought in an extra drill but were 2200 metres short of the target amount. Weather was not the reason, so why not complete? 4. What did we actually accomplish beside dilution and why? We may have, but also may not have expanded the resource. A lot of money for what? 5. Diamond valuations? I anticipate them to continue to be good but we'll have too wait and see. Conclusion: I'd like to think we did this only to appease a potential partner to actually put pen to paper. We are getting to a point (IMHO) where if further rights offerings occur a partner no longer has the value to participate and this goes private. Overall a bit disappointing, certainly not a bust from my perspective. I continue to hold my long positions as the valuations have increased again.

Maybe the rigs at surface were unstable due to directional drilling torque and hard to anchor, but bedrock below for ug mining is okay. Without expansion and open at depth the project was too small and uncertain, but should be okay now, the sp will move when they buy-in

I believe you, as we go that deep here where I am in sand, must be sand in your town. The permafrost is only frozen 5ft down from surface? At the Ch6 mine site a tech report showed ancient overburden and then bedrock which will be solid for ug mine, I doubt they would be talking ug mine if it is all sand caving in on them.

That's what we need, an announcement of a winter program. It would do wonders for the SP.

Kid, sounds reasonable, so why not communicate that if it is indeed the case? Is it embarrassing to admit?

Special request: Not that you need to be long to comment on any forum, but I’m interested to know if LC has any skin in the PGD game, and since he has me on ignore (big baby) I can’t directly ask him, so can someone please ask? than you in advance....

Can we put some teeth on buckets float a dredge and mine it all the way down, so remote we could make our own local mine code

A robot dredge no people on board mines the pipe straight down ...

On the small pipes could dig straight down with robots Nautilus developed some electric track vehicle robots recently could copy those and use conveyors to switchback ore up to the top, I will leave it at that just an idea ...

Look up arrogant, and some other choice words, in the dictionary, and you will see a picture of LC... Remember, this is a man who has invested in Stornoway for over a decade, who calls himself a legacy shareholder, yet has to continually dip into his line of credit to average down to a half decent SP, just to break,even. Who's the idiot?
