Hi GOLDIGER, just a practical consideration: I see they include surface sampling in Phase 11 and intend Phase 11 to immediately follow Phase 1. That would place Phase 11 in the winter. I pity the poor guys that have to do the soil and rock sampling. Even in the summer, humping a 70-100 lb. backpack full of bags of dirt along with geo's pick and shovel up and down mountains is a thankless job. Digging in frozen ground and traversing icy slopes with load will be a barrel of fun.

Eric, good questions. I have no idea on timetables but would think before going to the trouble of building drill pads they will want strong targets. Geophysics is good but confirming a target with a strong correlation with geo chem (ie. soil sampling) is better. If the sampling for logistical reasons is pushed back to springtime (don't forget assay time also) then drilling also will be delayed further into next summer. This is all guessing based on my experience. Anyone that is closer to this project, please correct my understanding.
