Cal: Your post is very interesting. I would imagine their drill program to date involved heavy, medium and light potential drill targets. Are you saying, thus far, they may have have intentionally steered away from some of the heavy potential drill targets for latter in this drill program? Keep the best for last, or should I say, a little later. ??? You never know, there could be major factors on the outside of SVB that can control the direction of drilling, to-date. !!!

I have seen no such map, I just call DML and ask where holes are and make my own map. I will get that map and post it on my site. If there is no geophysical target there is no reason to drill. They have completed EM in the area and drilled the best as they saw it. With the exception of the new anomaly. Check the nature and grade of that 11.5 and your question will be answered. I have not nor will I ever dismiss TEM. I NEVER implied that the PEM was of little use. I said CLEARLY more than one EM method is required. I have advised DML from meetings as early as February 26th, 1998 to reduced the gravity budget and put the money to surface EM methods. I had to fight and threaten to ensure that the 700k proposed for gravity was trashed for a more reasonable number. If Teck had their way no EM would have been done and another 1 million would have been wasted on gravity. Yes wasted, not because gravity does not work but because it does not belong in this stage of a program in such a detailed mode! I am very disappointed at the results both as a geophysicist and an investor. Certainly to tell people to "watch for better results" seems a bit promotional, will you cover their investment on that advice. I cannot see in to the future but you can, so I assume you are a very wealthy individual. Good for you. While this play is not over there is NOTHING more pathetic (no reference to you) than the hopeless dribble on many of these threads as a play falls away. And yes most fail, and yes the writing is on the wall long before. Never fall in love with a stock............never fall in love with a play 999/1000 will fail but I hope SVB is that 1. I am not ruling out the opportunity to make some cash one the failures (for The Chief) but don't flog them in public forums. The politics of this play is one of its worst attributes. It cuts into the weak credibility of the poor results. I would honestly feel better about this play if I had a tiny bit of trust for the directors involved. FWIW 1King
