Vaughn Hope your leg is on the mend for the Xmas season. It really is premature to talk of mining methods untill we get a better idea of the size shape and grade of the potential ore body. Most open pits go down on ore to remove to hundred meters of waste to get one bench or lift of ore seems impractical. With more drilling particularly around these holes it will be interesting because as you pointed out we seem to have two distinct times. The 15meters in the last hole is ore grade if there is enough of it and the 22% metals encountered in the other hole is certainly a nice sweetener to the potential. A fence of holes across the entire zone would certainly help answer alot of questiions. Regards Walt

I will wait to buy Donner again (made money twice and lost once on the smallest of the three positions luckily). I still think that the market has a short memory or driven by greed/paranoia will move out until things heat up again in the Spring. Funny why the NWT exploration for diamonds heats up in the winter and the Voisey Bay stuff tends to hibernate. Both places are just as cold or is it because they are drilling into harder material and need more water at a critical time to cool the drill or because the NWT sites are generally drilling into a lake (available water below the rig) and the material is softer ?
