I am getting the view that WSP should just go ahead and mine rather than take bulk sample. This is coming from people who know what is going on behind the scenes. I am not a miner and wonder if this is even technically possible. Is there equipment they could get presently available in the Territories which could be used for a small mine or would they have to bring in their own stuff next winter?

Watch for the sample size to increase if truck time is available on the winter road.

Hi Walt........I spent some time in Resolute and even longer in Eureka..I know cold....but a co-worker made this claim and I was about to say he was full of it.......just wasn't quite sure though.....
If you throw a pot of boiling water in the air when the temp is in the -50 -55 range it will shatter on impact with the ground as ice............true????
