>>Or are they just expecting too much?

I suppose that is why they have undertaken this AEP, to confirm that the orebody meets expectations. Isn't that the right way to go ?

You say I "have to ask myself". That's no good... what do I know ? I had hoped you would answer the questions for us. The grades reported so far from both the Timmins mine and Rusk zone exploration drilling look fine to me. Don't you think so too ? Also your opinion of the drilling results from Vogel and Schumaker adjacent to their Bell Creek mine, would be appreciated. It is to be noted that in January they began a 25,000 M drilling at Bell Creek and I think their eventual plans are to drive a ramp from Bell Creek to the V and S shallow showings. As I recall they were flat lying high grade zones. (or were they flat lies ? lol).

In my earlier reply to you I alluded to the Vogel and Schumaker properties that lie close to the Bell Creek mine. Here is a paragraph culled from LSG's web page:

Drilling at Vogel in 2007 intersected mineralization located close to surface, between 50 and 150 metres, and near the existing Bell Creek mine infrastructure. Vertical and horizontal vein mineralization was intersected returning 106.90 grams per tonne gold over 2.0 metres, 18.64 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 metres, 16.09 grams per tonne gold over 0.7 metres, 99.74 grams per tonne gold over 1.0 metre and 10.89 grams per tonne gold over 1.1 metres.



Lake Shore Gold´s strategy for the Bell Creek Complex includes assessing the quickest and most cost effective way to evaluate the Vogel and Schumacher resources underground. In addition, the Company is also planning to explore the Bell Creek and Vogel/Schumacher properties via surface diamond drilling, with a focus on deep targets defined from historic drilling data, particularly in light of the significant depth of resources at other properties in the area such as the Hoyle Pond mine. The Company will also review the potential for an underground exploration program, as well as a surface ramp to the high-grade, shallow Vogel mineralization.
