I commend you on your forward thinking. I was on the site visit when you suggested the same thing to Candido and I thought it was a good idea then too. In fact Hoov and I were discussing this same thing yesterday by phone and your name came up in the discussion. Tilsley has always said the only way to know the true grades is to mine the ore until there is no more. If we cannot get a good grade estimator by drilling/bulk sampling etc and this turns out to be a sticking point for Bay street then why not go for it. Of course, there is still the issue that a small mine would not allow you to extrapolate along a 23 km strike but at least you would know your grades at the location you were mining and might be able to convince people that your statistical models based on drilling can provide a reasonable estimation of grades in this "type" of deposit.

Keep the creative juices flowing... two thumbs up from me:)
