Guess what I'm trying to ask is could the concentration of nickel increase with plunge and depth to the east? Is there anything that would rule out this possibility? Going east we hit swampy ground with a stream running through it. It reminds of another situation where the ore was eventually located.

Mineman You seem to be coining this deposit as small and uneconomic which is FAR too early to state. First of all, don't discount the 1%-2% weighted average grades over large intercepts; that is a heck of a lot of Ni and could easily involve a combination of a strip/underground mine. Again, it too early to even talk about the type of mine layout, but far too much emphasis has been put on the intersections of the unusually high grade material. The NWI deposit MAY be like the Raglan deposit where several "small" deposits occur together; this seems to be the most likely scenario for speculation. By summer, the drilling will tell us the details we lack now. Lots of excitement ahead.
