Focused on the Exploration and Development through Partnership of its portfolio of Porphyry Copper Targets
Thai, your earlier "wake up call" postings have been spot on, the regulars should go back and digest what you've said again and again....
I'm hung up on one matter, you mentioned previously in the latter part of a previous posting (it's almost a "taking it for granted" synopsis i'm sensing on your end) that Tim Marsh is trying to be a copycat more-or-less of previous majors in the valley floor west of the Hualapai Mountain range. I underlined and highlighted the last part of your sentence which i disagree completely with...
"......so if you want to "hope", get down on your knees and pray for Marsh's model on Kabba to be right where many other pros have been proven wrong."
Perhaps i'm splitting hairs but i just wanted to bring this to your attention for clarification purposes. You counted the previous majors correctly at nine but they were not east of the porphyry intrusion as this is basically virgin territory that Tim Marsh is exploring (besides the old Kabba mine where the outcrop window is). Check out the pdf's on BCU's website, isn't it interesting to see all them small red drill holes (not "wells" Thai) plugged to the west of K3 (by the previous Majors....Bear Creek) but not one hole heading east "leading down slope from their source" towards the Moly Geochem outcrop (and old Kabba Mine).
If i may further add to what Gryphon mentions, lets not discount what TM has learned from the root zones in his days at Resolution (BL touched upon this as well in an earlier Agcom interview), he has a tremendous amount of experience studying these copper porphyries in Arizona with a vast database to draw information from. I will also add and BL shed light on this, the conservative TM is trying to prove that his theories/science is wrong (unlike pumping arm waving Geo's), therefore, these geology/scouting holes from K1 to K5 (and possibly more as Gryphon mentions) are very important to finding the core of this porphyry system. The "fencing off" with K5 was an extremely important hole and if you dig back in NR's they were originally going to beeline southeast of K4 to K6 (towards the Moly outcrop) but TM did a change up.
Not one hole makes a mine and until TM's provided with a normal drilling program (which equals to >>> $$$) to let 'Brown Drilling' run loose unveiling the truth, we will trudge along at a snails pace to a discovery. Sad to say but thems the facts of the matter. I have absolute confidence in TM's abilities, just wish we had cash in the bank to do an all out assault at Kabba. Lets face it, Bell is drowning in dilution by scrapping the way they have been, many of us are (or should be) well aware of the Macquarie interest in shares each and every month that you emphasized for the thread. It is what it is i say to myself. Times are definitely tough and they are surviving, if Bell can get thru these trying times and discover the holy grail at Kabba, well then, i'd say we're well on our way.
Gryphon, any backstopping comments/clarifications in light of what you know?
