i understand.

i'm curious as to what a "straight down over strike" drilling might yield. for that matter, i'd like to see what an "along strike" drill might yield. as long as it was explained as such i dont see the harm in drilling a hole or two like this. i know "along strike" is considered "cheating" but what better way can you determine what you actually have along strike.

also, why would'nt a straight down drilling help determine depth?

i truly appreciate the conservative approach but i think a "demonstration" hole might be in order to give a better idea of what we actually have. if it comes up dry what does it hurt? if it comes up 4gr/t over 300 meters then it might just catch an eye or two...
