Mr. Metals I'd like to feel your cajones. I didn't say I didn't like this prospect. It is the largest continous pile that I've seen in a driil hole. The fact that you could have an intersection of more than 50 feet in one VMS lense is excellent. I just said that there will be, not could be, problems down the road. The fact Borden is invovled gives me comfort. Do you know what they had to pay him? If you know something about this prospect that can help us make or save some money please contrbrute. It's an open forum for promotors and dickheads.
