it ain't an eskay creek sized pod but 10.71 meters of 70 ozs per tonne gold and 46.8 ozs of silver could open up the possibility that a small eskay creek type of zone is embedded in the valley of the kings or somewhere else in the brucejack area.... cross your fingers cause quartermain is releasing the news as fast as a grasshopper fiddling dixie.... he usually opts for accretive bimonthly releases .. something has stirred him up.. and where are the total meters drilled number.. what exactly has got quartermain acting out of his disciplined character... gives me pause for thought
