Frank, Has Ashton ever found anything other than some diamonds? Ever? You would think with all the land they searched they would have found some gold deposit or oil?

Frank F - I hope that your return to posting on this thread will bring us good news.

Can you explain something for me please. Since the bulk sampling, and before, I have interpreted your posts as suggesting that Ashton deliberately downplayed K14.

On the New Claymore thread you said:

Frank, I don't want to bore folks who do not have an interest in Ashton, but let me quickly say that Ashton's odds of finding a commercial area increases every day. They approach their exploration with tons of technical experience and consult with their parent company on a regular basis. Ashton will find a mine, the question is when? If you read some of my posts on k14, going back a few years, you will read that I always questioned their BULK SAMPLING drilling. To this date, I believe and can't prove that the mini bulk was taken from a concentrated area and the bulk was taken from an area they already speculated was not too heavy mineralized..."

But you have never explained "WHY".

Why would a geological exploration company, who's staff are killing themselves in the cold and bugs, season after season, deliberately hold, hide or avoid getting good results???

It doesn't add up to me.

If Ashton's geos thought 2 years ago that a certain area had the highest potential for mineralization, I think that is where they would have drilled first, or at least the next season.

I have trouble accepting that a company, with the credentials you often credit them with, is deliberately avoiding their best target?
