Headingnorth,

Does it not appear to be the beeginning of a circle where the claims are concentrated?

That circle of claims that is forming by the staking is called the "ring of fire" and as you can see, in the grand scheme of things there is only the outline of half a circle. This tells me that this is very young in exploration and you can also see that there is a lot of land free for the staking.

So when you hear the posters on this board say things like "we are just getting started" or "the real drilling hasn't even begun yet" etc.. you begin to understand what they are saying.

Sure there is more color as more plays get involved but just wait until the whole area is staked. It will look like a patchwork quilt.

One more thing. When you cosider the size of the area, it must make you wonder how much more there is to find!!

Hope this helps.......Don
