>>"In other words they drilled say 100,000 ounces, and recovered 200,000."

That was an interesting essay EC.

Am I right i thinking that the cutting of drilling assays is to eliminate the nugget influence from the drilling results ? A mine in the Timmins area that i am watching has cut their drilling grades, but are now embarking on an underground bulk sampling. Perhaps this procedure is to establish what grades can really be expected.... how much nuggeting is there in reality ?

All this work and expense ! Is it all necessary ? I guess your Cololmac story suggests that without it there is risk and doubt ?

I still believe that our conservative government has ignored a great opportunity to stimulate our economy by re-establishing depletion allowances and also the tax free period for mining startups. Any comment form conservative EC ?
