Hi al,

Enjoy your posts as always. Now, about those surveys.

I've looked at what is available. There are lots of squiggly lines and pretty colors and many of these are on PRB and FNC and others as well.

There have been quite a few posts on this subject.. that the surveys make it look like FNC or PRB or BMK have the largest share of the discovery.

My belief at this point however is that these lines and colors don't tell us anything. We need someone trained to help us out here. I believe this because, if they were anywhere near accurate, FNC would have been drilling weeks ago, right on the sweet spot, and PRB too.

I also doubt these pretty colored maps mean what they appear to mean because all the area companies, including NOT, continue to do surveys. If the existing maps were all they needed then I don't think they would be wasting all this addtional money and time on the search.

Proximity is a weighty factor, I agree. There is a higher probability that FNC or PRB will have what NOT has because they are right next door.. but this is not based on surveys. UC has lots of surveys too, and they've been drilling, but they haven't found a nickel mother lode YET.

These are of course deductions on my part. All opinions are welcome.
