in this instance it took 10 days because of mechanical problems with the new drill - they also drill 50M a shift - going down to 300-400 M - so hole 1 took a while

I believe the plan is to drill holes 1 and 2 then do downhole geophysics and then continue to drill...
peter is frugal and will not just drill for the sake of it... all tools available to find the sulfides will be used.

they have a HUGE mag anomoly much bigger on the map than eagle 1 and they will find some sulfides and continue to expand the ore body - which is good for NOT and all other players...

take a look at slide show from NOT - last page indicates deeper drilling to be done south of Eagle 1 because Vtem tells them that is what they should do... it worked on At12 and will going forward.

this is a long term play but with 27M shares out ... it's the cheapest by far IMHO they have the goods and just a matter of pinpointing it with that tiny drill bit.
