I'll double post mine from the SRSR list here, too:

"an updated independent Technical Report has been prepared for the Shining Tree property following further diamond drilling and a Deep Gradient Induced Polarization Survey"...

Hmmm. Don't remember if I'd noted there being news about them doing the IP survey work before... ?

Is that new, or did I just lose track of what work they've already done in exploration at Shining Tree ?

And, given that "following further diamond drilling" doesn't leave too much to the imagination, they've apparently been busy drilling some more holes up there ?

Will be interesting to see what sort of "further diamond drilling" they've done... what the targets were...

Could be particularly interesting if the sequence of events was 1. they did the IP survey, 2. they identified new targets, and 3. they drilled new holes to test those targets ? I suppose the previous drilling effort that we did hear about... where they'd drilled only two widely spaced holes... would be exactly the sort of work that was required to enable doing the IP survey optimally ?

Otherwise, given the known surface exposure of rocks with visible high grade gold in them... an effort focused on drilling shallow holes in and around that known deposit should enable them in fleshing out the near surface resource potential with a series of really shallow holes... those targets needing them to drill only 30 meters or less ?

The new photos of Shining Tree that we've seen recently from Tom Freeman... appear to show that the surface exposure is considerably larger than I'd thought it was based on previous photos and prior reports.

So, did they do the work to flesh out a meaningful resource estimate for the near surface minerals ? Or, did they drill holes looking for the elephant at depth that might be lurking there, indicated by what they saw in the IP studies ?

Apparently, we don't have to wait long to find out.
