Leaf, When I last called AMY (Sept 21st) she told me that drilling had started on the previous Friday (Sept 18). See my post Message 5803861 . Amy had said that we might expect assay results to follow in 6 weeks or so - beginning of November. I was hoping to see a PR announcing that drilling had started, but have not seen anything yet. I tried calling her yesterday, but she had stepped out of the office. Viceroy (T:VOY) has properties in the San Juan, La Rioja and Rio Negro provinces of Argentina. They recently started drilling at its Gualcamayo Project in northern San Juan Province. Argenina Gold's Veladero project is also in the San Juan province. They announced partial results on the first hole of this year's drill program. Hole 79 Results : 114 metres at 1.488 g/t gold and 55.2 g/t silver - partial results - assays below 182 metres pending. Quite a number of companies are exploring in Argentina these days. Argentina was a bit behind Chile in relaxing their mining laws, so many companies are now finding deposits on the eastern side of the Andes. Yamana's properties are in the Santa Cruz province, which is the most southerly province in mainland Argentina (Tierra Del Fuego is at the southern tip of Argentina, and they may be claiming a portion of Antarctica as well.) San Juan and La Rioja are northwest of Buenos Aires, so are quite a distance away from Yamana's properties. Rio Negro is two provinces to the north of Santa Cruz, still quite a distance. For an Argentine map, check dns.uncor.edu:8001/land/map_full.htm Hope that this helps. Neil.
