RR,

No doubt the grade is lower in these two holes. But 2 g/t avg is not low grade and is same as what North stock has so far avg. Furthermore, those first holes are in the Miwah Gold zone where previous results were sub 2 g/t. They are not in the South Miwah Bluff Gold zone where the very high grade results have been obtained from channel samples.

I suggest to you that the grade is not everything. There is a lot more to the economics of a deposit.

The big advantage of EAS results over EVG results is that the ore is from surface and appears continuous. At EVG the high grade starts at 120 metres and continuity is not always good. It is indeed not very good in those holes that went to 500 meters like # 12.

As I see it, only EVG hole # 20 is better for me, because of the high grade pocket.

Second, the foot print at Miwah is 4 times larger than at the North Stock of RattleSnake.

So overall, it is way too early to say which company will end with the better (most economic) deposit.

I like both play, but prefer EAS. I agree if you say that the fact that EVG is in the USA will give it a marketing advantage. No doubt.

OTOH, EAS has a better capital structure and lower cap than EVG. EAS has also a very significant shareholder in the name of Fronteer Development who just recently took position.

At first glance, we have two very nice speculations to follow.

Time will tell which one becomes the best investment.
