The silence from Copper Fox is interesting. Most companies have already announced plans for their 2012 seasons. I'm hoping we see the updated Resource Estimate before we see a PP. A buyout would be nice too.

A) Companies that have already begun work:

PVG - Currently 7 drills on site. Big plans for this year.

NG - Currently executing a $25 million work program for 2012. 25,000m of drilling starting Q2.

AOT - An aggressive 2012 drill commenced May 2, 2012. 50,000m. $6.5M.

CRI - "Castle will mobilize 2 diamond drills to the Granduc in May, followed by another 3 drills in June with the aim of drilling 40,000 meters through the field season."

DEC - Exploration work has started at the Red Cliff project (no drilling yet).

B) Companies that have planned work, but not yet begun:

SEA - To Look for High-Grade Core to Gold-Copper System

PGS - Drilling program planned, no real details.

SK - 2012 exploration program to focus on drilling multiple high-grade gold targets

TUO - Intends to carry out a $1 million drilling program on its High property

BXX - Titan 24 in June followed by possible drilling program.

BRU - "Planning is in progress for additional drilling at Red Chris South during 2012."
