There are rigs around. They need a deeper rig. They are not that common. With the holes they want to drill, I don't think a Longyear 44 will drill them. I think they need a Boyles 56 or 75 to get there. By the time you get down to 3000 feet of BQ you have 6 tons of rods. That means you need 12 tons of pullback in the head. 24,000 lbs. That is a hungry-man drill. You don't do that with a Lngyr-38/44. Depends on the machine, something like this might do it.. Rebuilt, vertical rig only (no angle), Detroit 353, diesel engine, Allison 643 transmission (lock-in device, stays in gear, placed in), 42” stroke of head, 19 gpm Vickers hydraulic pump, 35 gpm Bean pump, Longyear hydraulic chuck,60,000# capacity, folding mast (in 14’ section) Longyear says this about the 44 Longyear 44 Diamond Core Drill System The modular concept of this drill permits the operator to select components for a system, which is specifically tailored to individual drilling requirements. The Longyear 44 has an important safety feature of an automatic pre-torque and breakout tool. The drill can be trailer mounted and skid mounted for vertical and angle drilling. Specifications EC<:-}

ZNC, I agree. I hold a lot of ZNC and PAX and to a lesser extent LTH. They are a bit behind-lol. Behind BWR wts, znc and pax and lth are my zinc recommendation. In that order.

lth.v - maybe they all croaked or something, and no one was left to write a release informing us, that would be an acceptable excuse for their lateness eh ... yeah i'm getting a little ticked too, a bit late now to dump though, bought enough in the .50s to barely be above water at the current bid ... it's on the way to becoming one of the many never-never plays znc.to - yes that could get real big, and with oxide ore, cheap to process ... it's not the usual junior structure either, due to being a spinoff, no great weight of options and warrants looming over ... plus heavy-hitter backing, they'll have little trouble getting financed, and it'll move well when the time comes ... we may be seeing the next part of the move real soon, i'd like to see it fill the .79 price point first, but no big problem if it didn't For value in zinc it's Metalline by a mile though, for me, all other zincs added together don't total its position size ... it just has so much more metal than any other, including some with much larger market caps, conservative management yes but highly competent, and in a secure jurisdiction that welcomes mining, rail and power and highway right there in place ... going to be quite a silver play too, now that they're going again on the Ag/Cu side of the fault, this should bring them attention and a few of the attentive will begin to grasp just how massive is Sierra Mojada
