Just my opinion....

I think the release is very encouraging (the market doesn't seem to agree with me). This release caught the market off guard. I definately didn't expect it this morning, and some people in the market did not fully understand it's significance.

The key part of the release to me was:
...in the first 80 feet of core, disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pentlandite mineralization on the gossan zone...

Chalcopyrite = host rock for copper
Pyrrohotite = host rock for ?
Pentlandite = host rock for nickel

Encouraging news, we just need the mineralisation to continue and get some decent assays back from the lab.

80 Feet is VERY shallow, and decent grades could lead to something very significant. It is still too early and highly speculative, but some decent grades over a good strike length could prove up an economical mine. By my memory: Diamond Fields averaged around 2-3% Ni and that was economical at VERY DEEP levels, as a rule of thumb the magic number for Nickel is 1% for economical grades, but at 80 feet????

It seems that GYR will be drilling later into the winter which may spur the price and/or maintain market strength. ;-)

Just my thoughts.

Cheers,

Kent
