Beg to differ!

...the K14 reference is not positive

I don't believe that the company has the ability to do anything with these samples until the new DMS plan is put in place -- by June at the soonest.

The existing DMS plant in North Vancouver, if past performance is an accurate barometer, would take nearly two years to process 500 tonnes.

Accordingly, the samples being taken currently are simply being stacked.

The urgency with getting these samples now stems from the unseasonably warm temperature and the looming break-up which will curtail additional exploration.

I too wish that everything could go simply, but things like this are part of the biz. The problems at K14 will not likely bottleneck processing IMHO.

To experience a wonderful description of the harsh winter conditions in mineral exploration, including weather delays and equipment failures, read this:

Message 3545165

It is told by the eminent prospector "Walt" based on his personal experience, and certainly puts things in perspective-- (the described conditions would more aptly apply to places more extreme, like the NWT).

Thanks for sharing that, Walt-- wow!
