Hey Mtl and Boberator,

I appreciate what you both saying regarding the VG, BUT we are under the scrutiny of the TSX to provide unbiased drill results. The statistically "fair" thing to do would be to label the sides of the core heads and tails, then flip a coin and send the side that came up on the coin toss. Those of you that have 4 girls or 4 boys in your family may feel that statistics can be cruel sometimes. I am guessing Tilsley would use a similar strategy- knowing him as I do.

What I also learned from Frank, is that it is acceptable (in some cases) to make a video library of the core and send the whole core for sampling so that there is no risk of missing visible gold in the assays since the whole core is sampled. That does not mean that we will adopt this strategy, but it is one possible solution to addressing the issues you are both raising. The ultimate company that advises us (SGS or another firm) will have concrete suggestions on the best way to deal with all of these issues surrounding the nuggety nature and I trust our management to put us in the best hands possible.

Best,

Scott
