SSO - thanks, I thought that drilling data had been obtained and that drilling could only be effectively done in certain areas due to the placer deposit of gold in the valley. GE purchased a drill, but found it a rather useless tool due to the unique nature of the gold deposit.

From what I can tell, mother nature has mostly done the drilling, trenching and mining and has created the shear cliffs and mountain slopes in the process. (Been to the Grand Canyon? I have.) Nature has dropped its golden providence down to an accessible number of feet above sea level in the form of what we lovingly call a Placer Deposit on this thread.

Sure, there is gold above and below the riverbed, but the valley has the gold that has been concentrated by thousands of years of erosion.
A simple concept.

The gold is there. How much and how economically it can be extracted is left to be seen.

Hi Colleen. I have read that post and since no drilling was reported, assumed that he did not know what was happening on the property. The interesting post during that period is the one posted by El Tiburon suggesting 75-100mm ounces "before" the release of the data!! I find that worrisome!
