Thanks Hank good to see you posting. If Vit's results continue to impress I wonder if it would not make sense for them to drive an adit into the target area from the old pit and start drilling underground? Cheers, Ogi

That is what I warned another company. Vertical drill holes would require big rigs and would go slow at those depths. Not even a 44 is really up to the job. You need more like a 52 or 56 boyles. Which I note they don't make anymore. Clay could flood into the drill, and not be easy to wash out to get the core barrel back down or it could seize the drill string by pressure. You might need a foot valve to keep the clay out or a real powerful rig with thick wall rod to keep rotating under high torque. EC<:-}

I heard VIT.v had 3 drills running not long ago and now they have 2 drilling at Cove-McCoy. Was that 3rd drill the culprit? One of their geos did his dissertation on Cove: Geology of the Cove Mine, Lander County, Nevada, and a genetic model for the McCoy-Cove magmatic-hydrothermal system by Marcus K. Johnston. His figure (below) of the Cove stratigraphy doesn't show any clay thick enough to make the diagram, but, there are several layers called silty dolostone, silty limestone and sandy siltstone that may be altered and clayish. Maybe I should read his book. I shook the dog doo off my shoe, i.e. [t]ARU.to[/t], [t]DMM.to[/t], [t]KRY[/t], and [t]MAD.v[/t], and put in orders for 50k of [t]VIT.v[/t] at c$0.96 but no one would oblige me. I'll be bidding next week.
