Drilling

[calico]

Here's a suggestion. Why not position a drill rig directly above the 463 Zone and drill straight down or slightly off vertical in at least 4 directions, without having to move the drill? This would save time and money and should give some idea of how large the 463 Zone is. This also makes sense since Tim and crew think the lower part of the 463 Zone is a (flat-lying) horizontal body. This could be done using either a land-based or barge-based rig.

Calico - someone asked this exact question on Wednesday when Tim did that presentation (can't remember the name of the platform). Tim informed them that the 463 zone is actually positioned above a body of water, such as a pond, so it makes drilling a hole straight down very very challenging. He said it was an option they were considering if they can get the logistics of the drill positioning

Yes, I was the one who submitted that question at the online conference March 22. The 463 Zone is straight below the shoreline of that pond, so positioning the drill should not be a problem. Distance to the 463 Zone would be shorter than when drilling at an oblique angle. Here's hoping they do this.

But he said positioning the drill above it was a problem on the call.

In the news release on 8 February for the 505 hole reporting 21.35 metre of 9.75 g/t there are some diagrams showing the position of the 463 zone and the 505 drill hole that came in from the west side of the pond. Drilling gets oriented to intersect deposits at 90 degrees. These drawings are very early stage as to location and orientation of the 463 zone. What is unknow is how broad the zone is.

Well said Geezer, whether its this week coming up or even three weeks from now, results from the latest holes at 463 are imminent and will continue to paint the picture of where this source of high grade gold comes through. You wouldn't guess by the recent price action with the stock, but we are truly at a seminal moment here.

I repeat my earlier suggestion that they drill several holes just off vertical directly above the 463 high-grade. By drilling at extreme oblique angles they are probably missing the good stuff and using far more drill pipe than necessary.
