The Stockwatch news announcement I received this morning said in part:

Stephen Altmann, president added: "In 2011 we plan to increase our exploration focus with the goal of increasing mineral resources and converting additional inferred resources into the measured and indicated categories. The exploration plan will focus on drilling the deep seated massive sulphides on the Velardena property, which started this past week, plus the delineation of additional known mineralized veins, extensions of existing veins and identification of new veins on all three of our properties".

When I last talked to Mark in IR he indicated that once started, the drill should only take a matter of hours to reach the massive sulphides, since they are only reaming out the existing drill hole from previous sampling. Then they do their right turn and start sampling horizontally in different directions. I have no further info on the progress of this program (maybe someone has, perhaps?) but I would suggest that there may be samples being analysed right now.

I would think that if things go well, we get results in a couple of weeks, or sooner.
