Hi Yes it would be fair to expect that but it's location is not yet known. The whole N.shore within the large circle is fair game for further drilling to find out what the total increase in reserves might be. Cheers

Hi Andrew, <<<Though it is not shown on the map would it be safe to say that the dyke subcrop continues here and that open pit tonnage may be substantially increased from this area.>>>> No, it is not safe to say so. Assuming that there are till samples for indicator minerals etc. west of the north shore, you may have noted that there is no till anomaly down ice from the north shore. This suggests the following: 1. there are no till samples collected there,or 2. The edge or rim of the cone sheet has not yet been exposed by erosion at surface/subcrop. I alluded to this in a prior post suggesting that only 10 % of the cone sheet is perhaps eroded. Interestingly, the depth of the third hole on the north shore was not reported. I suspect this was done deliberately because with that data, the "three point problem" could be easily solved. I would think that part of the winter drill program will be to test no only the extent of the cone sheet on the north shore, but to drill up dip in order to determine available open pit tonnage, if any. There is a possibility that the edge of cone sheet could pinch out at depth on the north shore, thus limiting a large increase in open pit tonnage here. This should not however, limit reasonable prospects for a dramatic increase in tonnage amenable to underground mining. rregards, teevee
