Thanks Walt., now I think everyone has a good understanding of nodwells. I knew what they were. Also., while I have you here.., is it your understanding that the 4 drill holes that will be drilled to check the down dip of the dyke system will be drilled towards the lake.? Last time I talked with Winspear., it was mentioned four holes will be drilled at 15 degree angles. I guess this would make sense., seeing the deposit is shallow. Having never observed a dyke delineation program in process., do you suspect that these holes will be drilled to prove up the 600meter x800meter area already alluded to in the press release., or will these 4 holes most likely be drilled to delineate extentions., seeing Winspear has said it is open to depth and direction. I am assuming the 100 to 200 bulk sample will be taken., confined to the 600m x800m area. I am also assuming that these 4 holes would more than likely be drilled at 15% away from the identified dyke area to test its extention. What is your read Walt., or do you thing they may be drilled off one end of the dyke equally spaced to reflect the continuity off one end.? Sincerely George J.

Here's a picture of a Nodwell [Nodwell is a brand name] for sale; onlink.net - not the best picture of the tracks, which are a tank type [as opposed to cat (dozer) type]. That Nodwell is for sale; onlink.net - screamin' Jimmy power, wear ear muffs. Just put "nodwell" into Altavista and you come up with 266 links; altavista.digital.com Bombardier is another brand name for similar machines, though Nodwell makes them heavier and more industrial, as does Foremost. This type of machine is often seen on ski hills, where they call them "snowcats". As with all tracked vehicles, track cost per hour or per mile is significant, the tracks wear out far faster than tires. On the other hand, you never get flat tires. Re-connecting a broken track or putting back on a track that has left the idler, now there's a challenge, especially when you do it in four feet of mud. At fourty below - I can't imagine it. Those guys on the ground up there certainly have my respect. ............. cheers .................. macros PS - Walt, you should invite Ghunk from the PFG thread over to your "Bet your Assay" thread - he's a driller and I'd like to hear whatever he could contribute. 207.183.153.73 Bet your Assay 207.183.153.73 Ghunk
