Thanks. Here more from my discussion with Doug: Everyone by now knows I am not a mining expert, so Doug had my head spinning with tech talk. I told him to repeat things but I finally gave up. This the problem with dd, it is it hard to be knowledgeable enough in everything or anything. But I did get these points that might help a little: He said there were 28 samples that were sent to TUNS from 4 holes down to 1000 feet. The results were all good to exceptional. He said there are many operational mines with much less quality. The ore is considered high grade. He gave lots more numbers, but I can wait till the report comes out. If everyone insists on more someone like Claude Cormier could call him. I trust Cluades judgement from the posts I have read. However, I am sold already. LOL Doug pulled up a ton or so while getting the samples and one can see gold throughout. I hate say more, my note are a mess and don't want to make a mistake. Now for the other mines. The Raglan mine is in Raglan Township. Follow highway 28 east out of Bancroft Ontario. Bancroft is northeast of Toronto. He was not able to comment on that mine, but he did do some work at the garnet mine east of Sudbury. He said the garnet were softball sized industrial grade. He said that the deal with the Italian company is complete, but he said the deals were not his area. He compared the site to the Emery mine in upstate N.Y. They make sandpaper. He did say it is not a really large site, and I disappointed when Coolbreeze the profit picture is low with garnet. I asked about finding rubies there. Doug said it is possible, but he was not too optimistic. Doug was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Doug, Henry (the prospector), and the librarian in Toronto were all very nice. If they had an ISP in Issacs Harbour I would thank the two again, but all I can say is again thanks Canada for being so helpful.
