Charles, Robert may have a good point. Maxam has significantly improved assay result using reverse circulation drilling compared to previous results from auger drilling. I don't recall, were the IPM assay results from auger or reverse circulation drilling?

If the average non COC numbers for the 1st sq km down to 100 ft were 0.046 via auger drilling and we now know via the Bateman independent verification COC FA that trench samples vs auger samples are at least 2.5 (.061/.022) times the value of auger samples then isn't it logical to surmise that the true average FA value of the dirt with no loss via auger drilling would be closer to 2.5 times the .046 or roughly 0.115 oz/t for the first sq km down to 100 ft.

I realize this is purely simplistic speculation and is not intended as hype but the higher numbers seem blatantly obvious every time I analyze this play.
