Yes, I am quite aware of Wolf Mountain ...drilled based on high grade surface samples of 'black sands' containing PGMs but the grades never proved up in the initial drill program. It was my first exposure to a PGM exploration program - I learned a couple of important lessons from that one: (i) grade at surface is not a real indicator of what is at depth, and (ii) considerable preliminary work is required before you drill (mapping, geophysical, trenching, sampling, etc. is required to define drill targets). In my opinion, since visual drill core isn't even an indicator, all is mere speculation until the assays are in. Nevertheless, I will no doubt be watching for the drill results, as I am with others.
