Hello Shirley, we agree on this. Most majors come in and drill all over the place. I have been in the business for years and worked with majors and juniors. Once I brought a property to a major like Newcrest and the head geologist told me he only needs 5 holes to kill the property. I said "why would you want to kill the property, thats not the purpose of the option", he had no answer. Geologists that work for groups sorry to say this but like Newcrest won't put their job on line for a geologic idea. I bet most drill holes on Pico Machey were spotted in Denver and not by the Peruvian geologist who mapped and sampled the property. This is typical. However the Barrick geologists who live in Peru are spotting the holes at Queenstake Ancash properties. Majors that allow this will have success. I would place my money on them.
