Actually, as of the update last month, the 2 additional drills weren't there yet and the lab wouldn't be in production until the beginning of the year. Also, a good part of the drilling this year was for geotechnical analysis for the zinc feasibility study and for training their drill operators. We should see the results of all the drills, trained crews, and on site lab in the next few months as everything moves into full swing.

One (1) year, one (1) set of results on one (1) drill hole - a beautiful symmetry there ness paw epm.to - turnaround day most likely, little action in warrants but they never tanked near as much, notice that mlm.v - nineteen cents, ridiculous, the level of a year ago, and look at all they've accomplished since then goz.v - ditto - last winter goz broke out of the gate early in january, setting up to do the same again imho

The new Hagby drill was damaged in shipment couple months ago, has been sent back, repaired, back in Mex and will finally be in operation, as MMG has their own trained people to run it and the new Termite drill. And the geotechnical drilling to determine rock stability for the size of each mined segment is not drilling that is reported. That goes into the mine plan Gemcon software programs to help determine the best way to mine the deposit. This is an advanced stage deposit, you do not get drill news on the main deposits, that is done except for any spots that need closer definition. There is usually a long period during fease where the independent contractors work on the data, fill in the blanks, grind out all the details of the best way to mine out the blocks, and in what order, etc, the most efficient and overall cost effective mine rate, etc. That usually finds the stock price falling with impatience, and especially now with the crush on independent firms dragging out the process. It is often the best time to build a position. But lately the marginal deposits have been killed with cost overruns. I am expecting that MMG will be the exception to that with its high grade and huge existing infrastructure and work force availability. But the silver deposits are still being drilled, and the very large existing data being correlated to give an idea of the tonnage and grade. This data is much larger than any additional drilling could provide. They have made the fease #1 priority as it should be, but we should get a better idea of the silver resource as soon as that data can be compiled.
