<<it could be 6% of the stratigraphy, but could represent 50% of the resource.>> I'll question PFG about this possibility. From what I've read, I wouldn't have thought it could be this much but it is worth verification. This press release www2.cdn-news.com seems to indicate "Where present, the carbonaceous mineralization is confined to the uppermost 10 meters of the 400-plus meter thick sandstone unit". This press release www2.cdn-news.com seems to indicate "A wedge-shaped area of high grade mineralization, measuring 400 meters long (north-south) by 150 meters wide at the southern end and 50 meters wide at the northern end, is being delineated within the Central Zone., and this press release www2.cdn-news.com explains that at the tunnels "farthest reaches they are anywhere from 5 to 30 meters underground.. I can interpret from this information that only the top 10 meters of the up-to 30m of high grade zone might be carbon-bearing rock. You know charred, I don't mind asking these questions, but I'm not sure you are ready to hear the information provided. If I am miscommunicating this information so badly, why don't you try at least once calling PFG IR yourself, or better still talk to Tom Shrake himself. Here is the list of phone numbers. pacrim-mining.com I am sure they would appreciate a call from someone of your stature. Good investing, Qd

charred, Do you have any experience at all in these matters? The reason I ask is that sometimes you seem not to have any. As a de novo prospect they will drill on a grid like pattern until they determine the boundaries athen they will drill more holes to determine the extent of the deposit(they call them 'infill' les). If they get a rich zone they want to see what the three dimensional shape is of that rich zone as it gets deeper and deeper because a rich zone can be followed and mined thousands of feet underground and can go onto other peoples property deep underground so they want to know this so they can stake/option/buy that property. In any event this property is very hilly and so they are limited in their sampling methods. AS to mixing the samples? That is routine. When they say 2 meter chip samples they do not stop every two meters abd chip a deep hole, they chip along thesale path and fill a sample bag from here and there in each 2 meter section to get as widespread(representative) sample as possible. ach sample is then milled down to a smaller size and then a certain weight(an assay tun) is taken of that sample to do the assay So I see nothing wrong at all with their sampling procedures, what do you see rg?
