Well, it is all subjective. I go by these boys from time to time too, but you gotta watch it. A bit of data does not a mine make and all moss covered ground not drilled is not barren. I know several prospects that have as good or better characteristics than the Spanish, and much more consistency and better provenance of data.

The res geos signed off on the MIDB which is the list of all showings in Ontario. They hemmed and hawed about what constituted a showing and finally settled on 16,000 separate occurences of all metals. There are 5,000 drilled off or otherwise sampled copper-zinc occurrences and 10,000 iron deposits of varying kinds. In one township in Ontario there are recorded 12,000 gold showings. Kirkland Lake area has about 6,000 occurrences of gold in prospecting reports. I don't think 16,000 quite cuts it. But that is what the res geo's say.
