Haha- I actually just interupted the meeting I am attending by laughing out load. Nice mental images of you and I in the Beauce (I'll be the greenhorn in charge of the dynamite)

I don't call it gambling, I call it taking calculated risks with a high risk:reward ratio. :)

My point is simply that we could poke holes at this thing for a long time without getting the same information that we could get from digging it up. I don't want to find out ten years from now whether I was right or wrong about this deposit if I could get the same information ten months from now. If finding out sooner costs me a little more, that is a price I am generally willing to pay.

Best,

Scott
