I noticed a type-o on my holes
(It's a problem I'll have to deal with alone),
No, actually I meant holes 97-96 & 97-75, anyway you probably knew that. What I can discern from the past releases is that signature holes 96 - 75 - 67 are west to east and 200m apart(96to75) & 250m apart (75to67) for a total of 450m total (96to67). The release of May 14 says that hole 98-98 is testing the eastern trend (east of 67?) and hole 98-99 is testing the extent of mineralization of 98-96 (which is furthest west?). Sooooo, basing my calcs on last years distances of 200m (avg) apart on holes, I'd say they are drilling 200m west of hole 96 and 200m to the east of hole 67. This would mean the total distance between holes 98-98 and 98-99 is approx 850m, (if my surmising is correct)

If they are hitting mineralization in both new holes, they are on a HUGE anomaly, (considering DFR's hit was in a 200m area).

Just wait till they drill closer to 75.

Hello Ed,

I think I sense some attitude in your posts <g>

I did talk to the Donner Dudes and the info is not public. Donner-Dave has got one sexy phone voice. That should be a 1-900 number <G>

But I will condense what I have "speculated" before and measured off the Major press release with one new addition (also from the MGJ release.

Distances are all roughly E-W
75-67=160m
96-67=210m
96-75=100m
96-MGJ=600m
96-92=780m

There are 11 holes already drilled to the north and east of 96. If one looks at the geo-section one will notice that hole 67 is plotted so that it forms a continuous mineralized package including 96 at the western extent. Note there are five holes around 67 (as close as 50m) presumably with no mineralization so the section is incorrect (as I have already stated) and the mineralization is no where near as continuous as implied in these cartoons. This is borne out by the first 2 holes drilled this year.

Ah yes these two holes. Considering the only open directions are south and west these two holes must have been drilled in these directions, or some combination thereof. Note the "eastern trend" as I have already said does not imply due east of the hole, the trend is not referenced to the hole. And again as I have already said step-outs on a hit like this would be no more than 50m not any more than that.

If one checks out the picture in the MGJ release I can see why Tucows said the drilling was random. A product of no borehole geophysics or person to interpret it.

Any questions please ask.

Ed. It's good to see SVB turn around a bit today. It was getting pretty scary the last few days the way it was bottoming out. What gives with the VSE? It seems when TSE is down, the VSE is also down, and when the TSE is up, the VSE is still down. It's pretty rare to see the VSE up these days. Even today their down with the turn around in SVB. I guess the key now will be if there's any drill core being shipped to the labs, and how much, I don't think this Teck/DML team will ship out junk.!!!!
