Hi Mike. OFF Topic. TT is starting to waffle a little...still watching it though!!

Any new thoughts on MDIN? They have finished 17 km of IP.
1) IP show 500 meter by 500 meter area potentially minerlized-ie the diatreme breccia pipe.

We don't know to what depth or at what depth the mineralized area starts, do we??

2) Strong readings to depth of the probe-(what is the depth of an IP survey-Chief?)

If you move two electrodes slowly together, the electricity will eventually jump or arc! It is directly proportional to the current/voltage employed! The larger the current/voltage the larger the jump "space". Introducing mineralization causes the jump(illumination) to occur easily (obviously because it is a conductor). The greater the mineralization, the greater the electrical continuity, the lesser the "electrical generator" size needed to illuminate the structure!

The probes themselves are situated on the ground (rods driven into the ground) If you are on a mountain, moving rods down from the peak, on both sides of the mountain will allow you to illuminate with greater accuracy and localize the deposit in the x dimension!

3)Los Dos Marias had IP done as well-strong readings start at 285 meters then to depth of probe.(Los Dos Marias is 600 meters lower than Lapangue and a couple klicks away.

If there are drill holes on the properties they can lower the electrodes into the holes which allows localization of a deposit more accurately!! NOTE I am not sure if MDIN had old/new drill holes on the property to allow them to do this!! Also, hope for 150 metres or less of "overburden"! Overburden can kill a projects viability, if the deposit is marginal!

4)House still thinks the deposits are related-thinks the IP survey covered only a fraction of the deposit size.

A guess at this point!

5)MDIN may drill upto 28 holes in the 500m X 500m area to prove it up.(Does that sound like enough holes to prove up that size area?)

28 drill holes will give you a 100 x 100 grid throughout the 500 x 500 drill area. If you have geological structural continuity than this should be sufficient for a resource!

6)Heard rumor that Majors have already been snooping around down there.
Majors always snoop,and their will always be rumours! They could be true but even if so, don't translate into anything but a marketing rumour for the company!! Majors have their pick...and they only take the "pick of the litter"!!! The rest of the dogs just stay in the pound!<ggg>

7)Drills are suppose to start turning next week-KMT confirms MDIN has the money to drill.

Thats great news! They will likely average 70 metres per day, they will likely send 1500 metres of core out each "end month" with a 4-6 week waiting period from the time of cataloguing until assay results are posted!

PS sorry I can't be more help on the "depth of the probe" issue!
