<<Even using the most efficient underground bulk mining methods I think it's unlikely that these grades are economic. >>

I agree for hole #1 Eliz.

But I think you see the big picture. Tis hole is on the fringe of the deposit. The body of this deposit is centered around holes #3, #4, #5 which are 200m apart. With intervals of 255 meters of sulfides, it wont take much better grades to make this economic.

But as you and I know, it is quite possible that we will have much higher grades on both copper and gold as we reach the lens at the center of this VMS.

A quick calculation tells me that the area covered by a 400m by 400m perimeter over hole #3-#5 could have 100M tons of sulphides to a depth of 450 meters. What if the grades is 3% with 1-2g/t gold ?

The jury is out! And the next release will tell if we go to $15 or
or $5. I am betting on good grades on the large intercepts. The odds are for better numbers, I believe.

The shorts will get killed on the next release if we get those grades up.
