I am no mining expert either. It looks like all one may need for a 43-101 report is that it be done by an accredited geologist.

You need to drill to get a 43-101 reserves report. You can get a 43-101 resource report without drilling. Big difference. The former proves up economically viable ore. The latter just gives an indication of the potential size of a ore body, but not if it is economically viable. (in other words, CMM could prove up a huge ore body with millions of ounces, but not be economically viable, and thus unable to have it 43-101 compliant reserves) Even with the stricter 43-101 rules, there are a lot of games that are played with new investors to the sector. Many don't appreciate the subtleties btw reserve and resource, proven and probable, measured and indicated and inferred.
