i don't know of any company that takes a break mid way through a drill hole. never ever heard of that. they take breaks during a drill campaign etc. but not a drill hole. costs way to much to have the drill just sitting there. the drill company surly has other crews that can come out and relieve the tired crew. lol. guys there is more going on, more unforeseen risks

I did some digging .There is no problem with the hole. They had a block two weeks ago at 1900 meters. It got fixed and they are back drilling.

Does anyone know the name of the driller? I should be investing with them. They will make money whether they find gold or not. Ha ha

The driller is Foraco. They are not getting paid for sitting idle while they fixed the block because it was human error on their part. I would not throw my money at them and stick with GP. Buy some more Gold Terra. LOL.

Foraco is the third biggest driller in the world with 3000 employees. They happen to have an office in Yellowknive. GP did not go with the cheaper Mom and Pap outfit for this deep hole. They are concidered the top in the field of drilling. We are in good hands lost two weeks but that is not material in the big pickture.

In the past we did not have this real time info. Thank you internet. Can you go and look if the drill started back up? Or is the site closed for the public. My info was not sure what date that would be. 1900 meters puts the time of completion around the end of this month. Essays a month later. This is huge.

Access at site is secured at the Gate house to the site. However one never knows if that gate is left open from time to time but will check as I can. In winter we can get in via snowmobile, but we are a long way from that.

I can confirm the gate is securely locked but some traffic has been seen entering and leaving, unsure if it's Newmont activity or our drillers. Would be a good time for GP to be speaking to shareholders on what the situation is ..

Agreed and local info ( for what it's worth) tells me, the rig is not leaving the site, but I have not seen for my self but have no reason to believe otherwise.
