No, they had stuff, but they would always put two drill holes into it and rest a while. I was aiming at one vein they ended up with which everybody have ignored because it was in diabase. It was one quarter of a mile long and had two pits in it at either end, that both ran one ounce per ton. No other sampling. Flag staked it ten years ago about a week before I had planned to get it, and promptly stopped work on it for ten years, doing just enough to keep it, but not enough to do anything with it. There are others that I just missed in a similar manner. I figure they are mines, but with the people who have them, they never will be. Flag always had noble dreams and great scope for what they wanted to do. Sort of like Goldeye. But no delivery. Two basic reasons were no money, and nothing that screamed mine in any of their work. You would be astounded if you saw the scope of the work of some companies which you would swear never did a stitch of work. I worked for a few. Hardrock Extension and Strike Minerals. Hardrock stripped more area and did more channel sampling in one camp area than Dome mines did all over Canada. I mean it. They uncovered and stripped over 8 miles of geology. And just about all of it had gold. Strike, under the "shady" mining promoter Karl Forbes did better geology, more stripping, mapping and sampling in more minerals than Queenston ever did. Like about 100 miles more. I did some of it for him, and we did thorough work. Queenston could afford to drill, but Forbes had the potential orebodies. He had the Aquarius Mine before the he dropped it and helicopters took off from Timmins to stake it. 10 cent a share companies sometimes do acres of good work. And it leads nowhere. Even worse than nowhere when it gets dumbed down to 43-101. If you believe only 43-101 you get depressed real fast. EC<:-}
